ABSTRACT
Dysphania ambrosioides (L.) Mosyakin & Clemants, known as santa maria herb, is a medicinal plant used on pest control and to treat parasitic diseases. Due to its potential for pest control, the aim of this work was to determine the chemical composition of D. ambrosioides essential oil and evaluate its molluscicidal effect on Biomphalaria tenagophila, which is an intermediate host for the Schistosoma mansoni trematode, that is responsible for causing human schistosomiasis. The essential oil extracted from its leaves showed 87% of (Z)-ascaridole and 100% of mortality against B. tenagophila at 10 ppm after 24 h of experiment. LC50 and LC90 values were, respectively, 2.40 (1.90-2.99) ppm and 8.75 (6.39-14.12) ppm. D. ambrosioides essential oil proved to be a promising natural molluscicide against schistosomiasis when compared with commercial products.
