Medicinal plants are still less expensive, safe to non‐target organisms, and eco‐friendly. The present work aims to evaluate the molluscicidal activity of the methanolic extract of Ziziphus spina‐christi and Carica papaya seeds against Biomphalaria alexandrina snails. The half lethal concentrations (LC50) of Z. spina‐christi and C. papaya were 108 and 138.5 mg/L, respectively after 24 h. LC10 of C. papaya created a pronounced induction in catalase (CAT) activity, while LC25 of Z. spina‐christi and LC50 of C. papaya induced an inhibition in superoxide dismutase (SOD) level in treated snails. LC25 of Z. spina‐christi caused the highest induction in total antioxidant capacity (TAC). Phagocytic indices values were the lowest in snails exposed to LC50 of both Z. spina‐christi and C. papaya. Considerable changes in DNA patterns were observed in all treated groups by RAPD‐PCR using six primers. The similarity indices of snails exposed to Z. spina‐christi were higher than those exposed to C. papaya. Results showed no mortality in Daphnia magna individuals during the first 12 h of the experiment, while the extract of C. papaya seeds was more toxic on D. magna than Z. spina‐christi after 24 h of the exposure.

“…Previous studies suggested that the antioxidant system is unable to control the activities of ROS and free radicals produced during the treatment of chemicals, in turn that may induce DNA damage 81 , 82 . Similar response was observed in other organisms Chinese hamster over cells 83 , Biomphalaris alexandrina snails 84 and freshwater fish Clarias batrachus L 85 .…”

The present study aimed to assess the toxic effects of pendimethalin herbicide and protective role of curcumin using the Allium test on cytological, biochemical and physiological parameters. The effective concentration (EC50) of pendimethalin was determined at 12 mg/L by the root growth inhibition test as the concentration reducing the root length by 50%. The roots of Allium cepa L. was treated with tap water (group I), 5 mg/L curcumin (group II), 10 mg/L curcumin (group III), 12 mg/L pendimethalin (group IV), 12 mg/L pendimethalin + 5 mg/L curcumin (group V) and 12 mg/L pendimethalin + 10 mg/L curcumin (group VI). The cytological (mitotic index, chromosomal abnormalities and DNA damage), physiological (rooting percentage, root length, growth rate and weight gain) and oxidative stress (malondialdehyde level, superoxide dismutase level, catalase level and glutathione reductase level) indicators were determined after 96 h of treatment. The results revealed that pendimethalin treatment reduced rooting percentage, root length, growth rate and weight gain whereas induced chromosomal abnormalities and DNA damage in roots of A. cepa L. Further, pendimethalin exposure elevated malondialdehyde level followed by antioxidant enzymes. The activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase were up-regulated and glutathione reductase was down-regulated. The molecular docking supported the antioxidant enzymes activities result. However, a dose-dependent reduction of pendimethalin toxicity was observed when curcumin was supplied with pendimethalin. The maximum recovery of cytological, physiological and oxidative stress parameters was recorded at 10 mg/L concentration of curcumin. The correlation studies also revealed positive relation of curcumin with rooting percentage, root length, weight gain, mitotic activity and glutathione reductase enzyme level while an inverse correlation was observed with chromosomal abnormalities, DNA damage, superoxide dismutase and catalase enzyme activities, and lipid peroxidation indicating its protective effect.

“…Significant advances in the knowledge of reproduction in B. glabrata have been made in the last decade, especially associated with qualitative histological, ultrastructural, and metabolically analysis after parasitic infection [30][31][32]. However, due to the increasing use of the B. glabrata as a model system in toxicology and ecotoxicology [19,33,34], the description of the gonadal histomorphometric parameters is important to complement the analyses with the qualitative histopathological biomarkers.…”

The reproductive system has a fundamental role in population dynamics and several reproduction strategies have been shaped by the environment over time. Many environmental pressures are generated by releasing pollutants, as endocrine disruptors, that can affect the reproductive system of individuals, among them invertebrates. The freshwater snails Biomphalaria spp. are used as biomonitor in several ecotoxicological studies; however, there are few studies about gametogenesis and morphology of reproductive snail cells, which could be used as a new biomarker. In this sense, the current study aims to characterize Biomphalaria glabrata gametogenesis, bringing new histomorphometric parameters for germinative cells. Results showed that the hermaphrodite tissue is formed by several acini with simple pavement epithelium with germinative and somatic cells. Oogenesis was classified into five developmental stages (OI to OV) according to diameter, nucleus area, total area, and follicular cell development, and then classified into previtellogenic and vitellogenic oocytes. The spermatogenesis was classified into spermatogonia (Spg), spermatocytes (Spc) and spermatids that were subdivided into five stages (Spt I to Spt V) according to cytoplasm losing, and nucleus spiralization along with Sertoli cells development. Thus, the HIGHLIGHTS  The gametogenesis of Biomphalaria glabrata was described. Oogenesis was classified into five developmental stages. New histomorphometric parameters were described for oocytes. Spermatogenesis was classified into seven stages of development. B. glabrata histomorphometric parameters as a tool for environmental and public health researches.2 Rodrigues, C.C.; et al.
