Campeloma decisum, common name the pointed campeloma, is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusc in the family Viviparidae.
Campeloma decisum can be found in freshwater ecosystems throughout eastern North America. The species is capable of both sexual reproduction and parthenogenesis. [1] They typically reproduce when they're a year old, and live approximately three years. The species is sexually dimorphic. [2]
Parasites of Campeloma decisum include trematode Aspidogaster conchicola . [3]

Freshwater snails are gastropod mollusks that live in fresh water. There are many different families. They are found throughout the world in various habitats, ranging from ephemeral pools to the largest lakes, and from small seeps and springs to major rivers. The great majority of freshwater gastropods have a shell, with very few exceptions. Some groups of snails that live in freshwater respire using gills, whereas other groups need to reach the surface to breathe air. In addition, some are amphibious and have both gills and a lung. Most feed on algae, but many are detritivores and some are filter feeders.
