✦ Synopsis

Laboratory studies were conducted to investigate the influence of selected environmental parameters on the toxicity of Bayluscide to Schistosoma mansoni miracidia. Test results indicated that temperature, pH, hardness and salinity of the water exerted profound effects on miracidial survival and that the miracidicidal action of bayluscide was highly influenced by these factors. In summary, this chemical was found to be more effective in killing the miracidia of S. mansoni in waters of higher temperatures, lower values of pH (acidic waters), lower degrees of hardness (soft waters) and lower levels of salt (freshwaters). The implications of such studies in the control of schistosomiasis transmission are addressed.
