Population variability of Cernuella arigonis (Haas, 1929) (Mollusca: Helicidae) experimentally infected with Muellerius capillaris (Mueller, 1889) (Nematoda: Protostrongylidae).
Data on the level of infection and stage of larval development at the 12th and 40th days post-infection in the host-parasite system Cernuella arigonis (Haas, 1929) (Mollusca: Helicidae)/Muellerius capillaris (Mueller, 1889) (Nematoda: Protostronglylidae) were obtained. The results show the presence in an area of northern Spain of two varieties, geographic races or even sibling species of the host snail.
