“…Eliminating Oncomelania hupensis quadrasi (family Pomatiopsidae; Möllendorff, 1895) is important in schistosomiasis control. The control of these mollusks through the use of molluscicides will eliminate them and interrupt the life cycle of Schistosoma japonicum (family Schistosomatidae; Katsurada, 1904), and it keeps the prevalence of schistosomiasis in both animals and humans at a low level [1]. In developing countries where schistosomiasis is endemic, snail control is difficult owing to the high cost of synthetic compounds.…”

Material and methods Collection of wormwood leavesThe plants were collected from Barangay Gabas, Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines during the growth stage between in April and May and were identified by a botanist, Dr. Beatriz S. Belonias of the Department of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, Visayas State University. The identification of plants was based on morphological keys as formerly described by previous studies [6,7]. The dirt and debris from the leaves were washed with running tap water. After washing, the leaves were air-dried at room temperature for 3 days [8]. Dried leaves were chopped finely into manageable pieces, ground finely, and airdried again at room temperature for 7 days to remove the remaining moisture content of the leaves [9]. Extraction of bioactive compoundsGround dried leaves were completely submerged with ethanol for infusion for 48 h. After infusion, the preparation was filtered using a funnel topped with filter paper. The filtrate was placed in a beaker and the plant leaf residue was discarded. The filtrate was concentrated in a rotary evaporator at 40 °C and recovered 1/3 of its original volume. The recovered concentrated extract of wormwood

A atividade molusicicida foi atribuída aos compostos fenólicos e aos da classe terpenos presentes nestes produtos vegetais Han et al (2010),. com objetivo de obterem produtos vegetais para serem utilizados no controle da esquistossomose na Ásia, testaram dezenove extratos de onze espécies vegetais do leste da China em caramujos Oncomelania hupensis Gredler, hospedeiros intermediários do parasito Schistosoma japonicum Katsurada.A fração n-butanol do extrato etanólico das folhas da espécie vegetal Buddleja lindleyana Fort foi ativa contra os moluscos testados, com valor de CL 90 de 59,28 µg/mL.…”

Schistosomiasis is a vector-borne water-based disease caused by Schistosoma blood flukes. It mostly affects people in low-income regions, 90% of reported cases being in developing countries. Schistosoma has a complex lifecycle, alternately infecting mammalian hosts and snails. The snails hosting the parasite are the most viable targets. Selective preparations for reducing the parasite pool in snails and infected water are required as current molluscicides are also nontoxic to other organisms, including fish, and thus affect food supplies in infected areas. Plants (e.g. Annona crassiflora Mart., A. muricata L., and A. montana Macfad.) are attractive potential sources as alternative molluscicides and novel entity to treat the disease owned to their diverse biologically potent compounds including; saponins, alkaloids, terpenoids, and tannins. Additionally, they can be locally cultivated, providing income for farmers and reducing treatment costs. Here, we review plants, plant extracts and isolated compounds that have shown activities against the host snails or Schistosoma in various parts of its life cycle. Plants have a lot of potential and will continue to contribute feasible, effective medicines and/or pesticides; more research is warranted to fully explore their future applications.
