Small-Scale Field Trials to Assess the Molluscicidal Activity of <i>Hagenia abyssinica</i> Against <i>Biomphalaria</i> Snail Species. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
Schistosomiasis remains a significant public health burden in many developing countries. Plant‐based molluscicides have gained considerable attention as alternatives for snail control, owing to their relatively lower toxicity and favorable environmental profile. However, prior to large‐scale application, plant‐based molluscicides require rigorous small‐

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 ...

Seasonal patterns of Schistosoma mansoni infection within Biomphalaria snails at the Ugandan shorelines of Lake Albert and Lake Victoria [PDF]

, 2023
Intestinal schistosomiasis is hyperendemic in many sub-Saharan African countries. In Uganda, it is endemic at both Lake Albert (LA) and Lake Victoria (LV) and caused by S. mansoni that uses Biomphalaria snails as obligatory intermediate snail hosts.
