  • Title: Toxicity of a novel suspension concentrate of niclosamide against Biomphalaria glabrata.
    Author: Dai JR, Coles GC, Wang W, Liang YS.
    Journal: Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg; 2010 Apr; 104(4):304-6. PubMed ID: 19716575.
    Abstract:
    As a new suspension concentrate of niclosamide (SCN) was more effective in controlling Oncomelania snails than a wettable powder of the same drug, it was tested against Biomphalaria glabrata. There were no differences in the effect of the suspension concentrate, the wettable powder of niclosamide and ball-milled pure niclosamide against the adult snails, but at after 48h 0.125mg/l SCN killed 100% of eggs compared with 84.3% for WPN and 17.7% for pure niclosamide. Because of the improved handling characteristics of SCN over the other formulations, further field tests on Biompharia and Bulinus species are warranted.
