title: Single and dual infections of the land snail Helix aspersa with Muellerius capillaris and Alloionema appendiculatum (Nematoda).
abstract: Helix aspersa, a land snail, has been experimentally infected with 2 species of nematodes Muellerius capillaris and Alloionema appendiculatum. A significant reduction of infection with M. capillaris was recorded in snails preinfected with A. appendiculatum, whereas snails preinfected with M. capillaris were as susceptible to A. appendiculatum.
