Two Molluscicides from Saudi Arabian Euphorbiales against Bulinus wrighti

چکیده
The mortality caused to the snail Bulinus wrighti (The snail vector of urinary schistosomiasis) by different extracts of two species of plants belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae has been investigated. It was found that very low concentrations of fresh leaf extracts were effective in killing the snail. The LC50 of methanol and acetone extracts for Euphorbia schimperiana and Euphorbia helioscopia were 2.3 ppm and 8.9 ppm respectively.
