A note on the occurrence of leeches in paddy fields and their control.

Abstract

Leeches (Group Hirudinea) are well known for their sanguini- vorous habits and the annoyance they cause to man and animals. Both terrestrial and aquatic forms are met with in this group. Ponds, pools, irrigation water and marshlands are frequented by these annelids. Leeches have also been known to occur in paddy fields as recorded by De Jesus (1934) in the Phillippines.
