Abstract

A total of 153 crude extracts of Panamanian plants (28 species from 21 families) have been screened for molluscicidal activity against Biomphalaria glabrata, one of the intermediate hosts of schistosomiasis. When tested at 400 ppm, 15 extracts were active. The most potent of these came from Cyperus luzulae (Cyperaceae) and Hymenaea courbaril (Leguminosae).
