Bulinus forskalii is a species of tropical freshwater snail with a sinistral shell, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Bulinidae, the ramshorn snails and their allies.^[2]

Distribution

Bulinus forskalii is an afrotropical^[1] species which occurs in number of countries in Africa:

Northern Africa: only in Egypt and Sudan.^[1]
Western Africa: Benin,^[3] Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Senegal^[4] and Togo.^[1]
Eastern Africa: Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Somalia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.^[1]
Central Africa: Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.^[1] An extreme variant of Bulinus forskalii lives also on São Tomé Island.^[5]
Southern Africa: South Africa and Eswatini.^[1]

This species has been recently introduced to Madagascar.^[6]

Its presence is uncertain in Mauritania, Nigeria and in Sierra Leone.^[1]

Ecology

The natural habitats for this species are lake margins, swamps, marshes and wetland areas.^[1] It lives in all types of freshwater bodies and it has been found mainly in dams and brooks in South Africa.^[7] The substratum is often muddy.^[7]

Bulinus forskalii is a hermaphroditic species.^[8] Self-fertilization can occur.^[9]

Parasites of Bulinus forskalii include:

as intermediate host for Schistosoma guineensis^[8]
as intermediate host for Schistosoma intercalatum^[5]
as intermediate host for Schistosoma haematobium – experimental infection in Niger,^[10] but incompatible in South Africa^[7]
as intermediate host for Gastrodiscus aegyptiacus,^[7] that causes gastrodiscosis in horses^[11]
three species of paramphistomes (superfamily Paramphistomoidea)^[12]

It has been found incompatible with Schistosoma mattheei in South Africa.^[7]
