Bilharzia is now rampant on Lake Victoria, with the (introduced in 1856) Nile Perch having all but eaten all the small fish which used to eat the snail-host. Now there are millions of snails all over, & you can get bilharzia just by washing your hands in lake water. Not like it was in my childhood, & very sad! See my video from the past.
