Objective: To understand the variation in response of Oncomelania hupensis to niclosamide.
Methods: Snails were collected from 37 sampling areas distributed in 10 provinces (municipalities) using random environmental sampling methods in accordance with the different types and categories of snail habitats. In laboratory the snails were immersed in solutions of niclosamide for 24 and 48 hours at 25 degrees C.
Results: 1.0 mg/L niclosamide showed 100% killing effect on snails in 24 hours. The LC50 concentrations for snails immersed for 24 hours ranged from 0.0320 to 0.1689 mg/L with a mean value of 0.0920 mg/L. 0.5 mg/L niclosamide showed 100% killing effect on snails in 48 hours. The LC50 values for snails immersed for 48 hours ranged between 0.0299 and 0.1114 mg/L with a mean of 0.0627 mg/L. There is a significant difference in snail sensitivity to niclosamide between sampling areas.
Conclusion: The sensitivity to niclosamide varied in snails from different sampling fields, but the chemical in a concentration of 1.0 mg/L showed 100% effect of killing snails, which is consistent to the manual of schistosomiasis control.

It is well known that the number of true truffles in the wild is decreasing. The aim of the study was to develop an effective, simple and affordable method of asci disruption to release black truffle spores. It was shown that the spore release can be achieved by different ways, such as mechanical or biological destruction.

Article Synopsis
- - The golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) poses significant threats to aquatic ecosystems and agriculture, leading to the exploration of effective molluscicides, particularly macrolides from microbes, due to rising antibiotic resistance issues.
- - Two borrelidins (BN1 and BN2) were tested for their ability to kill and inhibit the growth of the golden apple snail, with borrelidin BN1 showing considerable molluscicidal effectiveness similar to the common pesticide metaldehyde, but at much lower concentrations.
- - Borrelidin BN1 not only reduced snail growth and population densities but also impacted various biochemical markers in the snails, while simultaneously protecting crops like Zizania latifolia, indicating its potential as

snails surviving drought play a key role in the seasonal transmission of urogenital schistosomiasis, although our knowledge of their adaptation to dry season is still limited. We investigated the survival dynamic and infestation by the of snails during the dry and rainy seasons in a single pond in an area of seasonal schistosomiasis transmission in Senegal. During the rainy season, 98 (94.

The almost complete absence of regulations to protect invertebrates is a common condition in legal systems, including the European one, especially when it comes to invertebrates intended for human consumption. Thus, in the vast majority of cases, edible invertebrates do not receive even the most basic protection at slaughter. Despite recent research indicating that invertebrates are capable of feeling pain and stress, the humane step of stunning is not used on them.

Article Synopsis
- Okinawa is a popular tourist spot known for its stunning beaches and reefs, which attract many visitors for marine activities.
- The reefs are home to a variety of dangerous venomous species, including cone snails, box jellyfish, and lionfish, putting tourists at risk of envenomation.
- Effective treatment for marine stings or bites includes first aid, hot water immersion, and possibly antivenom, highlighting the need for prehospital care providers to be well-informed about these venomous animals and their treatments.
