Sensitivity of Oncomelania hupensis to Niclosamide: A Nation-Wide Survey in China
Schistosomiasis japonica, transmitted by the intermediate host snail Oncomelania hupensis of the causative agent Schistosoma japonicum, remains a major public-health concern in China, and control of this snail is one of the major approaches used in attempts to interrupt the transmission of this neglected tropical disease. Niclosamide is currently the only commercial molluscicide available for t...
متن کاملMolluscicidal effect of sanguinarine on Oncomelania hupensis snails
A strong molluscicidal effect of sanguinarine against Oncomelania hupensis snails was demonstrated by immersion test in the present study. A positive relationship between doses, immersion time and the mortality of the snails was exhibited, while the optimal dose and immersion time of application towards the field eradication of snails were suggested. The possible mechanisms of effects were expl...
متن کاملCompatibility between Oncomelania hupensis and different isolates of Schistosoma japonicum in China.
Oncomelania hupensis from six localities were used for infection with different isolates of Schistosoma japonicum in the mainland of China, ie Anhui in the east, Hubei in the center, Guangxi in the south, Sichuan in the West, Yunnan in the southwest and Fujian in the southeast. Snails from Anhui and Hubei were readily infected with the local isolate of S. japonicum and cross infection also took...
متن کاملEcological Model to Predict Potential Habitats of Oncomelania hupensis, the Intermediate Host of Schistosoma japonicum in the Mountainous Regions, China
BACKGROUND Schistosomiasis japonica is a parasitic disease that remains endemic in seven provinces in the People's Republic of China (P.R. China). One of the most important measures in the process of schistosomiasis elimination in P.R. China is control of Oncomelania hupensis, the unique intermediate host snail of Schistosoma japonicum. Compared with plains/swamp and lake regions, the hilly/mou...
متن کاملMolluscicidal effect of Eomecon chionantha alkaloids against Oncomelania hupensis snails.
The molluscicidal effects of Eomecon chionantha alkaloids (ECA) against Oncomelania hupensis snails were determined by immersion method. The molluscicidal effect was positively related to ECA concentration, immersion time and temperature of the immersion solution. The mortality of the snails reached 100% by 72 hours in ECA at a concentration of 2.5 mg/l at 25 degrees C. The alanine aminotransfe...
