ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the White Earth Nation are looking for further evidence of a snail that carries a parasite that can kill waterfowl.

DNR Southern District spokesman Barry Stratton tells KBRF radio (http://bit.ly/r11BGJ ) that faucet snails were discovered in leeches being sold at a bait shop in the Otter Tail/Becker County area. Stratton says six of 20 ponds checked so far contained the snails. The ponds are on tribal land or in northern Becker County. Additional inspections are under way.
