    Journal: Zhongguo Ji Sheng Chong Xue Yu Ji Sheng Chong Bing Za Zhi; 1995; 13(2):114-6. PubMed ID: 7554158.
    Abstract:
    This paper is a preliminary report on the molluscicidal activity of seed of Camellia sinensis (L) O. Kuntze (SCS). Its LD50 and LD90 were 10 and 16 micrograms/ml, respectively. We found also SCS inhibited oxygen consumption 65% and glycogen content of Oncomelania snail by 80%. The activity of hatching eggs to juvenile snails was inhibited by this seed at 8-16 micrograms/ml. Juvenile snails may also be killed by this molluscicide.
