The low stringency-polymerase chain reaction (LS-PCR) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays were used to detect the presence of  S. mansoni  DNA in (1) Brazilian intermediate hosts ( Biomphalaria glabrata ,  B. straminea,  and  B. tenagophila ) with patent  S. mansoni  infections, (2)  B. glabrata  snails with prepatent  S. mansoni  infections, (3) various mixtures of infected and noninfected snails; and (4) snails infected with other trematode species. The assays showed high sensitivity and specificity and could detect  S. mansoni  DNA when one positive snail was included in a pool of 1,000 negative specimens of  Biomphalaria . These molecular approaches can provide a low-cost, effective, and rapid method for detecting the presence of  S. mansoni  in pooled samples of field-collected  Biomphalaria . These assays should aid mapping of transmission sites in endemic areas, especially in low prevalence regions and improve schistosomiasis surveillance. It will be a useful tool to monitor low infection rates of snails in areas where control interventions are leading towards the elimination of schistosomiasis.
