TLDR
Screening tests were carried out on the action of dried powder of eight algal species against Biomphalaria alexandrina snails, where the most effective powders were from Dictyota dichotoma and Cystoseira barbata with LC50 values of 560 and 2200 ppm, respectively.Abstract:
Controlling the snail intermediate host of schistosomiasis is one of the strategies used to reduce disease incidence. In this study screening tests were carried out on the action of dried powder of...read more

Cystoseira barbata marine algae have a molluscicidal activity against Biomphalaria alexandrina snails supported by scanning electron microscopy, hematological and histopathological alterations, and larvicidal activity against the infective stages of Schistosoma mansoni
TL;DR: Conclusively, C. barbata ethanolic extract contains bioactive molecules that could be developed as molluscicides for the control of freshwater intermediate hosts for schistosomiasis.

Mechanism of action and toxicological evaluation of engineered layered double hydroxide nanomaterials in Biomphalaria alexandrina snails
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the toxic impact of Co-Cd-Fe/PbI2 nanomaterials on the adult freshwater snails (Biomphalaia alexandrina) and showed that exposure to this sublethal concentration caused abnormalities in hemocyte shapes and upregulated IL-2 level in soft tissue.
