Trematodes cause chronic debilitating diseases in livestock and are a major concern for global veterinary and result in significant economic losses. Snail borne parasitic diseases, such as fascioliasis, paragonimiasis, and schistosomiasis, endanger human health and cause major economic problems in many tropical and subtropical countries. In this review, we summarize the primary roles of snails in parasite existence patterns, clinical indications, and disease dissemination, as well as snail control strategies. Snails play four roles in the parasites' life cycle: As a middle of the road contaminated by the main stage hatchlings, as the main halfway host tainted by miracidia, as the primary moderate host that ingests the parasite eggs, and as the main transitional host entered by miracidia with or without the subsequent middle of the road has been an oceanic creature. Snail borne parasitic infections affect many organs, including the lungs, liver, biliary tract, digestive tract, mind, and kidneys, causing overactive immune responses, diseases, organ disappointment, barrenness, and even death. The most notable occurrences of these infections are in non-industrialized nations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, while a few endemic parasites have evolved into global pestilences due to the global spread of snails. To prevent infection, physical, synthetic, and natural techniques have been used to control the host snail populations.
