ABSTRACT
The molluscicidal activity of leaves of Acanthus mollis against Biomphalaria Alexandria was studied in this work. Its petroleum ether extract [LC50 values = 6.92 mg/L] was more potent than Solanum nigrum and Iris pseudacorus extracts. A binary combination [11] of A. mollis and S. nigrum as well as a binary combination [11] of A. mollis and I. pseudacorus extracts showed an additive effect on snails [24 hr LC50 = 5.09 mg/l and 3.76 mg/l, respectively]. A tertiary combination [111] of A. mollis, S. nigrum and I. pseudacorus extracts [24 hr LC50 = 4.01 mg/l] showed good results. Also, the petroleum ether extract of A. mollis leaves killed Schistosoma mansoni cercariae at concentrations of 20, 10 and 5 mg/1 within 30, 45 min and 1 hr, respectively. Mortality increased with increasing the exposure time and concentration
