Abstract:
Oncomelania is the only intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum as well as an indispensable part of schistosomiasis transmission. Now synthetic molluscicides have a lot of problems, such as high cost of production, chemical pollution, drug resistance, and toxicity to non-target body, which makes people's interest turn to plants and plant-derived compounds. This paper describes the current existence of chemical snail control methods and biological snail control methods on the view of chemical construction, mechanism of action, and structure-activity relationships of natural extracts with molluscicidal activity, in order to provide the basis for the development of the new plant molluscacide.
