Succinea snails are considered to be invasive and pestiferous gastropods those in the floricultural industry. Their small size makes them difficult locate within large plant shipments, their presence on decorative plants can constitute for an entire shipment rejected sale distribution. Research performed is limited, especially terms of effective mitigation strategies. The nematode Phasmarhabdit...

Land mollusks are significant an economical pest invading diver’s flora in Egypt. In the light of this trial, Evaluated efficiency chemical compounds as metaldehyde, methomyl and copper sulfate against two land snail’s species chocolate-band snail, Eobania vermiculata glassy clover Monacha obstructa related to families, Helicidae Hygromiidae was inquired. The findings showed that metaldehyde mo...

Schistosomiasis is a snail-transmitted infectious disease affecting over 200 million people worldwide. Snail control has been recognized as an effective approach to interrupt the transmission of schistosomiasis, since the geographic distribution of this neglected tropical disease is determined by the presence of the intermediate host snails. In a recent Scoping Review published in Infectious Di...

One of the most deadly neglected tropical diseases known to man is schistosomiasis. Understanding how disease spreads and evaluating relevant control strategies are key steps in predicting its spread. We propose a mathematical model evaluate potential impact four strategies: chemotherapy, awareness programs, mechanical removal snails molluscicides, change temperature on different molluscicide p...

Filamentous cyanobacteria of the genus Lyngbya are important contributors to coral reef ecosystems, occasionally forming dominant cover and impacting the health of many other co-occurring organisms. Moreover, they are extraordinarily rich sources of bioactive secondary metabolites, with 35% of all reported cyanobacterial natural products deriving from this single pantropical genus. However, the...

Metaldehyde is extensively used worldwide as a contact and systemic molluscicide for controlling slugs and snails in a wide range of agricultural and horticultural crops. Contamination of surface waters due to run-off, coupled with its moderate solubility in water, has led to increased concentration of the pesticide in the environment. In this study, for the first time, rapid analysis (<~1 minu...

Laboratory evaluation was made to assess the molluscicidal activity of different fractions of Euphorbia royleana (Family- Euphorbiaceae) latex obtained through sephadex gel column against freshwater snail Lymnaea (Radix) acuminata Lamarack. This snail is the vector of liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica Linnaeus and Fasciola gigantica Cobbold, which causes endemic fascioliasis in cattle and livestoc...
