Schistosomiasis is one of the neglected tropical diseases. It is a snail-borne trematode infection, and Biomphalaria alexandrina snails are the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni in Egypt. The objective of this study is to evaluate the molluscicidal activity of the aqueous seed extract of Moringa oleifera against B. alexandrina snails. The results showed that this aqueous extract was lethal for B. alexandrina snails (LC 0.27 g/l; LC 0.41 g/l). Exposure of snails to the sublethal concentrations of this aqueous extract caused a considerable reduction in survival rates and hatchability rates of eggs of these snails. Moreover, it negatively affected some biochemical aspects, where it increased the levels of transaminases (ALT and AST), while it decreased the concentrations of total protein, albumin, and globulin concentration. Histological examinations of the digestive gland of snails exposed to the sublethal concentrations of aqueous seed extract of M. oleifera revealed severe damage in the digestive cells, where they lost their tips and some were degenerated, while the secretory cells increased in number. Regarding the hermaphrodite gland, there were losses of connective tissues and irregular sperms, and the eggs were degenerated. These findings prove the potent activity of aqueous seed extract of M. oleifera against the intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni and provide a considerable scope in exploiting local indigenous resources for snails' molluscicidal agents.
血吸虫病是被忽视的热带病之一。它是一种由蜗牛传播的吸虫感染,在埃及,Bulinus alexandrina 蜗牛是曼氏血吸虫的中间宿主。本研究旨在评估辣木种子水提物对 B. alexandrina 蜗牛的杀螺活性。结果表明,这种水提物对 B. alexandrina 蜗牛具有致死作用(LC 0.27 g/l;LC 0.41 g/l)。暴露于这种水提物的亚致死浓度下会导致这些蜗牛的存活率和卵孵化率显著降低。此外,它还对一些生化方面产生负面影响,其中包括增加转氨酶(ALT 和 AST)的水平,同时降低总蛋白、白蛋白和球蛋白浓度。对暴露于辣木种子水提物亚致死浓度下的蜗牛消化腺进行组织学检查显示,消化细胞受到严重损伤,它们失去了尖端,有些细胞发生退化,而分泌细胞数量增加。至于雌雄同体腺,结缔组织和不规则精子丢失,卵子退化。这些发现证明了辣木种子水提物对曼氏血吸虫中间宿主的强大活性,并为利用当地土著资源开发杀螺剂提供了广阔的前景。
