  • Title: [Molluscicide activity of some natural products on Biomphalaria glabrata].
    Author: Mendes NM, de Souza CP, Araújo N, Pereira JP, Katz N.
    Journal: Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz; 1986; 81(1):87-91. PubMed ID: 3796282.
    Abstract:
    The molluscicide activity of aqueous (macerated and boiled), hexanic and ethylic extracts of Aristolochia brasiliensis, Caesalpinia peltophoroides, Caesalpinia pulcherrima, Delonix regia, Spathodea campanulata and Tibouchina scrobiculata was evaluated in the laboratory. The solutions obtained from those extracts were tested on adults and egg masses of Biomphalaria glabrata reared in the laboratory at 1, 10, 20, 100 and 1000 ppm concentrations. The most active of the extracts studied was D. regia flowers' (flamboyant) ethylic extracts which presented molluscicidal activity on adult snails at 20 ppm.
