Resumo

The first register of Biomphalaria straminea, vector species of schistosomiasis, in Santa Catarina State, South Brazil is described. The specimens were obtained from two ornamental aquaria of private residences. In both cases the ornamental plants and/or fishes were bought from the same supplier. The presence of this species was later confirmed in the farm where these plants and fishes are cultivated, in the city of Governador Celso Ramos, also in Santa Catarina State. The occurrence in natural environments was later detected in two different places of the Island of Santa Catarina.
