Hello Joyce & Avril
There is a very good book on apple snails.

Dr. Gloria Perera &  Jerry G. Walls     1996
Apple Snails in the Aquarium -
Ampullariids: Their Identification, Care and Breeding
121 all-color pages (26 x 17.5 cm)
TFH # TS-260            List:  $19.95 (1 lb 5.8 oz / .620 kg)
ISBN  0-7938-2085-5     UPC  018214120858

Unfortuatly after careful review, it contains no information on diseases.

Best Regards,
Leslie

Hello Conchlers,
I have had a lady come to me with a mystery illness in a friends apple
snails.  The two snails troubled with the illness have died and now Joyce is
trying to find out what this malady might be just in case her pet snails ever
develop the same problem.

I have set up a mystery page for Joyce at:
http://www.manandmollusc.net/Mystery_shell_pages/joyce-mystery.html  You can
email Joyce in person at:  [log in to unmask] or if you answer the list, I
will forward all responses on to her.

Thank you again for any help that you might be able to give in this mystery.
 All the very best and I hope everyone has a great weekend,
