"Bulinus" is a genus of small tropical fresh-water snails, aquatic gastropod mollusks.

This genus is medically important because several species of "Bulinus" function as intermediate hosts for the schistosomiasis blood fluke.

Range of distribution

These snails are widespread in Africa and the Middle East. [Aslak Jørgensen, Louise V. Gersdorff Jørgensen, Thomas K. Kristensen, Henry Madsen, J.
