TL;DR: The activity of the new mulluscicides is not affected by strong sun radiation or by acidic pH, and their activity is resistant to storage, river-bed mud and lower temperature.
Abstract: The molluscicidal properties of 5-nitro- and 3-nitro2',4'-dichloro salicylanilides and their mixture 5.5 : 1 were investigated against the intermediate hosts of schistosomes Bulinus truncatus and Biomphalaria alexandrina. Unlike Bayluscide, the activity of the new mulluscicides is not affected by strong sun radiation or by acidic pH. Their activity is resistant to storage, river-bed mud and lower temperature.
