Docking investigation of Thevetia peruviana plant compounds for targeting molluscicidal activity against Biomphalaria alexandrina snails, the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
Background Thevetia peruviana, commonly known as Yellow Oleander or Cabbage Tree, is a tropical shrub. Extracts from various parts of the plant (e.g., leaves, seeds) have demonstrated pesticidal properties, including the ability to repel or kill ...

Thirty years of slug control using the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita and beyond
The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a parasite of slugs and snails and has been formulated into a biological control agent for use across northern Europe since 1994. Here, we review all research on P. hermaphrodita that has been carried out over the last 30 years and suggest future priorities.

This study focused on documenting and evaluating the cercaricidal activity of medicinal plants used for schistosomiasis treatment in an endemic area in Ghana. Through semistructured questionnaires, personal interviews with herbalists in communities surrounding the Barekese dam in the Atwima‐Nwabiagya district, where the disease is endemic, were carried

Abstract Schistosome parasites cause a chronic inflammatory disease in humans, and recent studies have emphasized the importance of control programs for understanding the aquatic phases of schistosomiasis transmission. The host‐seeking behavior of larval schistosomes (miracidia) for their snail intermediate hosts plays a critical role in parasite ...
