    Abstract:
    Schistosomiasis is a neglected disease transmitted through contaminated water in populations with low basic sanitation. The World Health Organization recommends controlling the intermediate host snails of the Biomphalaria genus with the molluscicide niclosamide. This work aims to evaluate the biocidal potential of the nanoemulsion prepared with the essential oil of Ocotea indecora leaves for the control of the mollusk Biomphalaria glabrata, intermediate host of the Schistosoma mansoni, the etiologic agent of schistosomiasis.
