Editorial Reviews for Plant Mulluscicides: Papers Presented at a Meeting of the Scientific Working Group on Plant Molluscicides, Undp/World Bank/Who Special Programme for (Wiley Medical Publications) The role that molluscicides can play in the control of schistosomiasis has been well established. Economic constraints and the rising cost of synthetic chemicals in endemic countries make plants an attractive alternative source of molluscicides. For the first time the present and potential roles of plant molluscicides, screening methods, problems of evaluation, needs in the field of toxicology, and methods of breeding, selection and cultivation of plants are review. Guidelines for research in plant molluscicides are reported.
