IMPACT OF SOME ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ON SNAIL CONTROL BY CERTAIN MOLLUSCICIDES
WAFAA MOHAMED ABDEL FATAH HASSAN EL - KOMY;
Abstract
Schistosomiasis is an endemic parasite in several parts of the world, thus considerable attention has been focused on its control by various means. In Egypt Bilharziasis is endemic and flared up greatly by the development of irrigation schemes and turn over
from basin to perennial irrigation by the beginning of
201
century. The disease inflects great damage to the
rural population by reducing physical abilities, retardation of growth and mortality as serious sequences.
The use of molluscicides for the control of snails had significant effect in reducing both incidence and prevalence of Schistosomiasis. The commonly used molluscicide in Egypt are Frescon, Niclosamide and copper sulphate.
Agricultural activities used several herbicides to improve the productivity of Crops. These herbicides may reach water courses (canals and drains). Therefore they may affect the toxicity of molluscicides.
Unfortunately, limited studies were carried out on the interference as well as the combined effects of molluscicides and herbicides on the snail intermediate hosts of Schistosomiasis in Egypt.
