Molluscicidal activity of sodium hypochlorite against Biomphlaria alexandrina snails: Immunological and hepato-endocrine alterations with in silico docking study

“…This is a reflection of the harm NaOCl has done to liver cells. These findings are consistent with a prior study ( El-Deeb et al, 2017 ) that discovered an increase in AST and ALT activity in the hemolymph of five species of fresh water snails subjected to LC10 and LC25 Nicodamid The observed modifications could be the result of animal experiments to balance amino acids in various body parts. Similarly, Beltagi et al, 2010 reported a significant increase in the levels of ALT and AST in the exposed land snails to LC25 and LC50 thymol.…”

Assessment of the molluscicidal activity of the methanolic seed extracts ofZiziphus spina‐christiandCarica papayaon immunological and molecular aspects ofBiomphalaria alexandrinasnails

“…In the present work, the induction of catalase (CAT) activity caused by LC 10 of C. papaya , might be due to stimulating antioxidant activities to cope with the oxidative stress and protect cells from damage. Similar increases in the CAT activity were observed in B. alexandrina snails after exposure to balanced and high phosphorus fertilizers (El‐Deeb et al., 2017) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (Fahmy et al., 2014). Meanwhile, the decrease in the CAT activity could be attributed to the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, followed by the occurrence of intensive oxidative stress (Atli & Grosell, 2016).…”
