Molluscicidal Activity

ABSTRACT

Snails and slugs are considered to be the intermediate hosts of different parasitic worms whose final hosts in most of the cases are livestock or human being causing several diseases in them. Use of chemical pesticides for the management of these vectors pose severe environmental hazards and problems for non target animals. Phytochemicals of plant origin are found to be effective alternatives for them. Areca palm (Areca catechu L.), which is grown abundantly in several parts of the world including India, contains good amount of tannin and alkaloids in its seeds, which are reported to be toxic to molluscs. The LC50 value of areca seed extract against the fresh water vector snail Lymnaea acuminata, an intermediate host of the liver-fluke Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica which cause fascioliasis in man and livestock, at 96h was 12.3 mg/l. The toxicity of arecanut seed extract was found to increase significantly with the addition of synergist compounds such as piperonyl butoxide and MGK-264. The LC50 value of arecanut seed extract with PB and MGK-264 at 96h was found to be as high as 3.8mg/l and 3.86mg/l, respectively. Such studies are urgently needed to confirm the toxicity of arecanut on other species of mollusks also and identify the active principle responsible for such activity.
