Article Abstract
The elimination of Oncomelania hupensis snails is important to schistosomiasis control. Recently, the application of molluscicidal organisms is considered as a safe and efficient method for snail elimination. In order to provide scientific evidences for effective control of O. hupensis and schistosomiasis, this paper summarizes the researches of molluscicidal microorganisms against O. hupensis.

Massylaea vermiculata snails are a significant gastropod pest in Egypt, threatening agriculture. Due to increasing concerns about conventional pesticides, it is imperative to find effective alternatives that are less harmful. We assessed the molluscicidal activity of abamectin, methoxyfenozide, and spinosad using the leaf-dipping method in vitro and the effect of LC of these compounds on biochemical aspects and protein electrophoresis.

: Schistosomiasis continues to be a major public health concern in Ethiopia. Eliminating the intermediate host snails is an effective and cost-efficient strategy for preventing and controlling schistosomiasis transmission. However, chemical molluscicides have limitations due to their toxicity to nontarget aquatic organisms, environmental concerns, and the development of resistance.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of using 5% niclosamide ethanolamine salt granules, applied with drones, for controlling snail populations in marshland habitats.
- Four experimental groups were created, with variations in environmental cleaning and application methods, to monitor snail mortality and density over a two-week period.
- Results showed varying mortality rates among groups, with the highest in the groups that employed environmental cleaning, indicating that pre-treatment cleaning is beneficial for improving the molluscicidal effect.
