Reports of snails' resistance to niclosamide appeared recently and finding new molluscicides becomes necessary. We investigated the molluscicidal effects Cucurbita maxima seed extracts on Biomphalaria pfeifferi, Bulinus globosus snails under laboratory conditions. For B. we tested juvenile adult while only were available for testing. Snails exposed water crude ethanol 72 h significant concentration-dependent mortality rates observed. The number pfeifferi juveniles collected was not enough a...
Two recent studies have suggested that divergent mitochondrial lineages may be present within spirostreptid genera such as Bicoxidens Attems, 1928. Bicoxidens, similar to many other endemic soil invertebrates, exhibits low dispersal capabilities and strict microclimate habitat preferences, attributes often lead geographic isolation. Given prolonged isolation lays the foundation for population genetic differentiation, divergence possibly speciation, there was good reason suspect consist of...
