**4. Conclusion**

Environmental changes along the borders of water bodies aimed at diminishing snail habitats are one method of snail control. In both snail and parasite intervention during control operations, knowledge of the environmental factors in snail infectivity in endemic areas is vital. It will be feasible to take efforts toward preventing and regulating the harmful impacts of parasitic trematode outbreaks by knowing the ecological drivers of their infection, growth and propagation. As a result, it may cause overt harm to humans and livestock, as well as economic losses in the future. In man-made systems, where the design phase includes proper technical

activities, environmental change may be optimal. Control techniques must be tailored to the ecology of the host snails as well as the social characteristics of the affected group, and executed on an individual basis.
