Molluscicides applied to two areas near Alexandria had a significant effect in reducing both incidence and prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium and S. mansoni infections. No decrease in either measure of endemicity was found in an adjacent untreated area. Bayluscide and sodium pentachlorophenate were equally effective in interrupting the transmission of S. haematobium, but Bayluscide was more effective against S. mansoni, probably because of the difficulty of applying sodium pentachlorophenate to drains, which are the primary habitats for the intermediate hosts of S. mansoni. The authors believe that the present experiment provides strong evidence of the interruption of transmission of bilharziasis in the Nile Valley or Delta.
在亚历山大港附近的两个地区施用杀螺剂，对降低埃及血吸虫和曼氏血吸虫感染的发病率和流行率均产生了显著效果。在相邻的未处理地区，这两种地方病指标均未出现下降。贝螺杀和五氯酚钠在阻断埃及血吸虫传播方面效果相当，但贝螺杀对曼氏血吸虫更有效，这可能是因为将五氯酚钠施用于排水系统存在困难，而排水系统是曼氏血吸虫中间宿主的主要栖息地。作者认为，目前的实验为尼罗河谷或三角洲地区血吸虫病传播阻断提供了有力证据。
