  abstract = {{W}e report a preliminary analysis on the relationships between drainage basin structure and genetic structure of populations of the {E}uropean vector of fasciolosis, {G}alba truncatula. {I}n the study area, 251 snails belonging to 12 populations were collected along different ditches of a same river network. {E}ach snail was genotyped at six variable microsatellite loci. {O}ur results show that all sample sites are characterized by a low level of polymorphism and a very high and significant heterozygote deficiency. {O}ur data reveal a significant genetic differentiation, even at a small scale, and failed to delimit clear patterns of isolation by euclidian distance. {O}ur study shows that genetic differentiation significantly increases with hydrographic distance along the streams (p < 0.002), in consistence with the hypothesis that dispersion along the stream is dependent on the direction of water flow. {T}his study shows that relationships can exist between the organization of the hydrological network and population biology of a disease vector, which has strong potential applications to drainage network management issues.},
