Abstract
Summary The molluscicidal effect of Bayer 73 on adults, mud-encapsulated eggs, and population growth of the amphibious Oriental schistosome-host snail Oncomelania formosana was studied under laboratory conditions. Bayer 73 proved to be more effective per unit of concentration than CuSO4 and NaPCP, as reported previously. A higher concentration was necessary to kill adult snails than to kill eggs, although the presence of mud with the adults may have been a contributing factor. Concentrations of 0.3, 0.7, and 1.0 ppm markedly reduced the number of young in cultures in comparison with untreated cultures. For optimum results, solutions should be freshly prepared.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
