ABSTRACT
Oncomelania hupensis, the only intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum, is an indispensable part in the transmission of schistosomiasis, and snail control play a critical role in schistosomiasis prevention and control in China. This paper reviews the major molluscicides used currently and in the past and their application techniques in China. It is suggested that the research and development of molluscicides and their operational studies remain to be emphasized; notably, the novel molluscicides and new snail control techniques that meet the environmental protection requirements should be intensified. In addition, attentions should also be paid to the monitoring and evaluation of the field efficacy of molluscicides and snail control approaches, and it is necessary to evaluate the effect of molluscicides on environment and ecological security.
