“…Euphorbia milii latex was found to be a rather potent and selective plant molluscicide that is nontoxic to bacteria, algae, and first instar larvae of mosquitoes (Oliveira-Filho and Paumgartten, 2000). Yadav and Singh (2014) found that sub-lethal exposure of Jatropha gossypifolia latex, leaf and stem bark and their different combinations with betulin, ellagic acid, rutin and taraxerol caused a significant reduction in survival and hatchability of snail Lymnaea acuminata, killing the snails and rendering them sterile. The objective of this study was to evaluate the molluscicidal activity of the plants Phytolacca octandra, P. dodecandra and Balanites aegypiaca.…”

Schistosomiasis is a widespread parasitic infection whose intermediate host is aquatic snails and affects more than 250 million people worldwide. Although control of the snails with synthetic molluscicides is possible, it is not greatly preferred due to concerns of environmental toxicity and the relatively high cost of the chemicals. Conversely, organic plant-derived molluscicides are a better alternative that can be used to reduce the incidence of the disease. The objective of this study was to evaluate the molluscicidal activity of the plants Phytolacca octandra, P. dodecandra and Balanites aegypiaca. The major parts of the whole plant (berries, leaves, stems and roots) were collected, air dried to constant weight, macerated to a fine powder and extracted separately using methanol in soxhlet apparatus. The extracts were screened for activity using brine shrimp lethality test and thereafter tested for molluscicidal activity. There was no significant difference observed in the activity of the plant parts studied and of the three plant species in the brine shrimp lethality test. Similarly, no significant difference in molluscicidal activity of the plant parts studied and in the three plants against bulinus snails was detected. It was concluded that that the three plants can be used in the control of schistosomiasis transmitting snails.

“…The extract of some plants species have been found to be potent in destroying the snails with some being environment friendly in comparison with niclosamide, the only World Health Organisation recommended molluscicide. These plants include Euphorbia hirta (Yadav and Singh, 2011), Euphorbia milii (Oliveira-Filho and Paumgartten, 2000) and Jatropha gossypifolia (Yadav and Singh, 2014). Balanites aegyptiaca fruit, Entada phaseoloides bark, Derris elliptica roots, sisal pulp and Schima argentea leaves are reported as molluscicides but poisonous to fish (McCollough et al, 1980).…”

Schistosomiasis is a widespread parasitic infection globally but more so in sub-Saharan Africa which accounts for about 90% of those seeking treatment globally. Fresh water aquatic snails are intermediate hosts of parasites causing the disease. Niclosamide was approved by the World Health Organization to be the main molluscicide used in the control of the snails. However, many plant species could be used as alternative molluscicides as they are environmentally friendly. This study aimed to isolate and characterize the chemicals responsible for the molluscicidal activity in the plants, Phytolacca octandra, Phytolocca dodecandra and Balanites aegyptiaca. Parts of the whole plant (berries, leaves, stems and roots) were collected, air dried to constant weight, macerated to a fine powder and extracted separately using methanol in soxhlet apparatus. After extraction, the crude extracts were isolated and purified. The melting points of the isolated compounds were determined and testing was done for alkaloids, triterpenoids, glycosides and saponins. The tests were positive for triterpenoids, glycosides and saponins but negative for alkaloids.
