}}

Lymnaea is a genus of small to large-sized air-breathing freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Lymnaeinae of the family Lymnaeidae, the pond snails.Bouchet, P.; Rosenberg, G. (2013). Lymnaea Lamarck, 1799. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=160345 on 2013-06-06

Some species are used in aquaculture under the name Melantho snails.{{cite web |url=http://wildlife.ohiodnr.gov/portals/wildlife/pdfs/publications/laws%20&%20regs/pub061.pdf |title=Aquaculture Law Digest |publisher=Ohio Department of Natural Resources (undated) |access-date=4 January 2014}}

Numerous Lymnaea species serve as intermediate hosts for trematodes.{{cite journal |last1=Novobilsky |first1=Adam |last2=Kasny |first2=Martin |last3=Beran |first3=Lubos |last4=Rondelaud |first4=Daniel |last5=Hoglund |first5=Johan |title=Lymnaea palustris and Lymnaea fuscus are potential but uncommon intermediate hosts of Fasciola hepatica in Sweden |journal=Parasit Vectors |date=2013 |volume=6 |issue=1 |page=251 |doi=10.1186/1756-3305-6-251 |pmid=23985077 |pmc=3765860 |doi-access=free }}{{cite web |title=Lymnaea {{!}} definition of Lymnaea by Medical dictionary |url=https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Lymnaea |website=The Free Dictionary |publisher=Farlex |access-date=21 August 2020}}{{cite journal |last1=Skala |first1=Vladimir |last2=Walker |first2=Anthony |last3=Horak |first3=Petr |title=Snail defence responses to parasite infection: The Lymnaea stagnalis-Trichobilharzia szidati model |journal=Developmental & Comparative Immunology |date=January 2020 |volume=102 |page=103464 |doi=10.1016/j.dci.2019.103464 |pmid=31402190 |s2cid=199540040 |url=https://eprints.kingston.ac.uk/id/eprint/43785/1/Walker-A-43785-AAM.pdf}}
