Resumo: The authors observed specimens of Biomphalaria glabrata climbing up the vertical wall of a ditch against the current. The snails that showed this behavior during application of a molluscicide in the breeding site survived and probably played a role in repopulation, which was observed three months later. These observations motivated field and laboratory investigations which led the authors to conclude that: a) this species is able to climb vertical surfaces both in field and laboratory situations; b) the current of water, as a physical stimulus, is sufficient to trigger this behavior (rheotaxis); c) rheotaxis on vertical surfaces depends on the presence of a necessarily moderate current; d) there are indications that B. glabrata may undergo habituation with respect to rheotaxis on vertical walls, e) the relationship between rheotaxis and habituation should be considered as a factor causing snail grouping in water bodies which may contribute to their localization in the field; f) rheotaxis on vertical surfaces may facilitate population dispersal, and its occurrence should be considered when campaigns for the control of schistosomiasis transmission are planned. The authors present some proposals to avoid the manifestation of this behavior in some filed situations.
