Abstract
Two batches ofHelicella (H.) itala (adult specimens) and two ofCepaea nemoralis (adult and young specimens) were experimentally infected with larvae I (L-I) ofMuellerius sp. andNeostrongylus linearis obtained from the lungs and faeces ofRupicapra rupicapra. In assess larval development, the number and percentage of the total number of larvae (L-I+L-II+L-III) per mollusc were studied, together with the number and percentage of L-III per snail and the days on which the different larval stages were reached. The development ofMuellerius sp. andN. linearis was greater in larvae from faeces. For both species of molluscs, the values for the percentages of the total number of larvae and L-III were higher inN. linearis than inMuellerius sp., but there were no notable differences in the days on which the various larval stages were reached. Both nematodes achieved a greater degree of development in young specimens ofC. nemoralis than in adults. Whether the larvae came from facces or the lungs,H. (H.) itala was a better intermediate host thanC. nemoralis forMuellerius sp. andN. linearis.
