Oncomelania is a mollusk, divided into male and female, amphibious on land and water, and consists of two parts: the snail shell and the soft body. The front part of the soft body is the head, neck, feet and mantle, and the rear part is the internal organs. ; Those with longitudinal ribs on the surface are called "rib-shell snails", with a shell length of about 10 mm and a width of about 4 mm, and live in lakes and swamps or water network areas; those with smooth shell surfaces are called "light-shell snails", which are slightly smaller than rib-shell snails. The length and width are 6 mm and 3 mm respectively, and they are more common in hilly areas.
