Evaluation of Fentonʼs Reagent Toxicity to Biomphalaria Alexandrina Snails
International Journal of Zoology and Animal Biology, 2020 Fentonʼs reagent is considered a promising disinfecting agent as it has antimicrobial activity. In the present study, effective antifungal Fenton concentrations were investigated on Biomphalaria alexandrina snails as bio indicators of toxicity. Generally, they resulted in low mortality rate of snails, as only 20% mortality was recorded after 60 min

Significant Progress in the Study of African Freshwater Snails Over the Past 260 Years
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.Globally, freshwater ecosystems are threatened, and studies estimate rapid degradation compared with terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Like most other tropical regions, Africa still has far to go regarding discovery and documentation. Using a systematic review process, we evaluated freshwater African snail studies.
