The molluscicidal activity of niclosamide (Bayluscide WP70®) on Melanoides tuberculata (Thiaridae), a snail associated with habitats of Biomphalaria glabrata (Planorbidae)

Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the toxicity of niclosamide (Bayluscide ®) on Melanoides tuberculata and Biomphalaria glabrata under laboratory conditions. The latter species is the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni (Sambon 1917). M. tuberculata was successfully used as competitor of B. glabrata in biological control programs in French West Indies. Both molluscicide and biological control using M. tuberculata have proved to be successful in reducing the population density of B. glabrata. The asso… Show more

“…may lead to a reduction of the competitive interaction between those species, thus indirectly stimulating the increase in the population of Biomphalaria spp. (Giovanelli et al 2002). On the other hand, some environmental modifications may add to the instability of the environment, what would make room for the coexistence of M. tuberculatus and Biomphalaria spp.…”

“…Other tested extracts were not sufficiently molluscicidal (LC 90 values >100 mg l -1 ; 176.94-6 241.61 mg l -1 ) to warrant further investigation as plant molluscicides. Suffice to state that the susceptibility of the snails to niclosamide (positive control) was within the limits reported in the literature (Webbe 1961, Shiff et al 1970, Sarquis et al 1997, Giovanelli et al 2002.…”

“…The differential susceptibility of aquatic organisms to Bayluscide has been used elsewhere to control nuisance organisms in the aquaculture industry (Francis-Floyd et al 1997). The live snail count registered at 24 h post application in some ponds may be related to the fact that this period is still within the 48 h recovery period reported earlier for Biomphalaria stramina in Brazil (Giovanelli et al 2002). Earlier reports of snail escape behaviour including water leaving and burrowing (Sarquis et al 1997) were not investigated, but with the relatively heavy concentration of Bayluscide that were applied on pond margins, it is not feasible that any affected snail could have escaped.…”
