Abstract
The trematodes, specifically the genus Schistosoma , are responsible for causing the parasitic disease known as schistosomiasis. In this research, the aim was to utilize the extract of Saussurea costus root as a molluscicidal substance to target the snails, which act as the intermediary host for the parasite species and disrupt the life cycle of the parasite. During the investigation, Biomphalaria alexandrina snails
期刊介绍:
The main focus of Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries is to publish peer-reviewed, original papers relating to the biology and ecology of fresh, brackish and marine wetlands. Papers on applied research in both fisheries and aquaculture are so encouraging. Preference will be given to studies that address timely and current topics such as impact of climate change and green economy. The aim of Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries is to provide a wide scope for the aquatic biologist and limnologist to address and evaluate fisheries issues related to processes and functioning at different levels (individuals, communities and ecosystems).
