This paper reports the occurrence of nematodes and trematode cercariae in Lymnea species of one part of Danmadahun in Jakara dam, Kano state, Nigeria. This study was initially carried out between October to January 2017 to determine the types of trematode cercariae in freshwater snails in the water body. Freshwater snails were collected from the accessible sites on Danmadahun part of Jakara dam and placed individually in compartmented petridishes for cercarial shedding. A total of 67 Lymnea snails (made up of eight species) were collected from this part of the study site out of which four forms of nematode, Chaetogaster species and five forms of cercariae, three Gymnocephalus and two unidentified cercaria were encountered. The prevalence of nematodes in these snails is 6% and that of cercariae is 7.46% with 11.94% as the overall prevalence of infection. This study presents the first report of nematodes in snails of Jakara dam.There is the need for thorough investigation and control of Lymnea and other snail species in this area because of the diverse infections they can transmit in humans, animals and agriculture since this is an irrigation site.
