“…Moens (1970) established the relationship between toxicity and temperature for slugs, and demonstrated that the toxicity of metaldehyde increased with a rise in temperature. The carbamate pesticides which are currently being used for the control of various species of gastropods pests are carbaryl (Barry, 1969;Brar and Simwat, 1973), mexacarbamate (Barry, 1969), aldicarb (Judge, 1969;Brar and Simwat, 1973) and isolan (Daxl, 1971).…”

Many aquatic snails act as intermediate hosts for the larvae of trematodes, Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica, which cause the diseases fascioliasis and schistosomiasis. The WHO has tested several thousands of synthetic compounds for the control of the snail host. Although effective, these molluscicides have so far not proved themselves to be entirely satisfactory. With a growing awareness of environmental pollution, efforts are being made to discover molluscicidal products of plant origin. Being products of biosynthesis, these are potentially biodegradable in nature. Several groups of compounds present in various plants have been found to be toxic to target organisms at acceptable doses ranging from <1 to 100 ppm. Common medicinal plants, i.e. Thevetia peruviana, Alstonia scholaris (Family; Apocynaceae), Euphorbia pulcherima and Euphorbia hirta (Family; Euphorbiaceae), have potent molluscicidal activity against freshwater snails. The toxicological actions of Thevetia peruviana may be due to the presence of apigenin-5-methyl ether (flavonoid) and triterpenoid glycosides, while a number of alkaloids (pseudo-akuammigine in addition to betulin, ursolic acid and beta-sitosterol), steroids and triterpenoids are present in Alstonia scholaris and the diterpenoids, pulcherrol, beta-sitosterol, hentriacontane, ellagic acid and beta-amyrin are present in Euphorbia hirta and in Euphorbia pulcherima. Although, at present very little literature is available on the control of vector snails through plant origin pesticides, an attempt has been made in this review to assemble all the known information on molluscicidal properties of common medicinal plants of eastern Uttar Pradesh, India, which might be useful for the control of harmful snails.

“…Carbamate and oximecarbamate pesticides have been found to possess high potential use as molluscicides against terrestrial gastropods (Judge, 1969;Hunter and Johnson, 1970;Godan, 1983;Miller et al, 1988;El-Okda et al, 1989;Radwan and El-Wakil, 1991;Abdallah et al, 1992and 1998and Abo-Bakr 1997. Methomyl is one among the most potent oximecarbamates used especially in bait formulation forms against terrestrial slugs and snails.…”

The molluscicidal activity of abamectin were assessed compared with methomyl against the most two abundant snail species brown garden snail (BGS) Eobania vermiculata and white garden snail (WGS) Theba pisana under laboratory conditions. The results indicated that LC50 values of methomyl were almost equal LC50 values of abamectin indicating more molluscicidal potency of abamectin and methomyl. Results also revealed a complete consistency of correlation between the LC50 values and exposed time intervals. The high molluscicidal activity of abamectin against E. vermiculata and T. pisana compared to methomyl using topical application technique could be used practically in the field of land snails control program and overcome some drawbacks of using bait forms in this respect. Comparing the LD50 values indicate the significant variation of the molluscicidal activity between the two applications methods used in addition to the variation between the two species of chosen snails, the brown garden snail E. vermiculata were resistant species than the white garden snail T. pisana.

“…There is a much wider and economically more serious impact by terrestrial snails on man's agricultural activities. Whereas, vegetables, ornamentals and other main crops are destructed by different terrestrial snail species, Kassab and Daoud (1964); Barry (1969); Judge (1969) ;Godan, (1983); Baker (1989); El-Okda et al, (1989); El-Wakil and ; Radwan and El-Wakil, (1991); El-Wakil et al (1992); Radwan et al (1992); Kassem and Abdullah, (1992); El-Wakil and Mesbah (1995); Abdallah et alAE (1998a); Abdallah et alAE (1998b) El-Wakil (1999), El-Wakil and Attia (1999).…”

في هذه الدراسة تم تعريض ستة أنواع من القواقع الأرضية لحشرة الميجاسلياسكالاريس(لوي)، وتم حساب متوسط عدد القواقع الحية والنسبة المئوية لعدد الموتى في القواقع بعد 1 ، 2 ، 3 ، 4 أسابيع . وأوضحت النتائج أن هناك اختلافات معنوية في النسب المئوية لموت القواقع بعد أربعة أسابيع من التعريض هي 100% ، 100% ، 70% ، 100% على التوالي . وعلى جانب آخر ، فإن القواقع المعرضة الأخرى مثال الرومينا ديكولاتا والكوشيلسيلا أيوتا لم يتم التطفل عليها إطلاقاً ، حيث كانت النسبة المئوية لعدد الموتى في هذه القواقع هي صفر% . هذا وقد أوضحت النتائج أن حشرة الميجاسلياسكالاريس( لوي) المسجلة في البيئة المصرية حديثاً يمكن أن تستعمل في برامج المكافحة الحيوية للقواقع الضارة في مثر ، بينما سوف تكون هذه الحشرة غير ضارة بأنواع القواقع النافعة والتي تقوم بافتراض أنواع القواقع الضارة.
