The prevalence of Fasciola hepatica infection in the snail Galba truncatula was studied for the first time in Algeria using Multiplex PCR. A total of 722 individuals were collected from 11 typical habitats (temporary ponds, road ditches and puddles) distributed in five localities of the El Tarf province, known for endemicity of fascioliasis. Snails were divided in 75 groups and DNA extraction was performed using Chelex® (Biorad, Nazareth Eke). Two primers were used, the first is specific for 124 bp DNA fragment of Fasciola sp and the second one represents the ITS-2 lymnaeids sequence (500-600 bp). The prevalence of the infection was estimated to be 46.66% for pools (35/75 were positive). The bursting out of the pools show that 75 snails were carriers of F. hepatica which gives an overall infection rate of about 10.74%. The results of snails infection according to their sizes showed significant differences in the studied size classes, thus snails of big sizes were the most infected. Based on these data, epidemiological implication of Multiplex PCR as a fully reliable technique to highlight high risks periods of fasciolosis will be of a great interest.
