Molluscicidal Activity of <i>Camellia Sinensis</i> (Green Tea) and <i>Camellia sinensis</i> var. Assamica (Purple Tea) Extracts Against <i>Biomphalaria pfeifferi,</i> the Major Vector Snail of Human Schistosomiasis in Sub-Saharan Africa. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
Freshwater pulmonate snails are prevalent across Kenya and act as intermediate hosts for trematode parasites, some of which are snail vectors for human schistosomiasis. Chemical molluscicides have rarely been used routinely in Kenya to control snails due to high costs of manufacture and the subsequent environmental concerns associated with their use ...

The Senegalese and Brazilian strains of Schistosoma mansoni exhibit high compatibility with Biomphalaria pfeifferi and Biomphalaria glabrata [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Intestinal schistosomiasis, caused by Schistosoma mansoni, is endemic in both Africa and South America. In Senegal and Brazil, S. mansoni is transmitted by Biomphalaria pfeifferi and Biomphalaria glabrata, respectively.
