Gastropods pest are largely neglected in the literature of pest
control methods. Terrestrial/ aquatic snails and slugs are
destructive pest of field crops/aquatic vegetation and gardens.
Gastropods also act as intermediate host of many helminthic
species. Fasciolosis and schistosomiasis are included in the list
of important helminthiasis. Both have long impact on cattle and
human health and economy. One of the effective tools to control
helminthiasis is to destroy the carrier snails, to de-link the life
cycle of the flukes. The present book highlights the major control
methods of gastropods pest of horticulture/agriculture and carrier
snails of different flukes. The major control measures, which are
commonly used now a days are cultural/biological/mechanical and by
synthetic/plant derived products. Recent researches, on snail
control measures include use of cow urine/dung, bait formulations
and synergistic combinations against harmful gastropods are also
discussed. Snail trapping by different attractants used in bait
formulation and phytotherapy of snails is one of the emerging
methods in control of helminthiasis. Present book is useful to the
agriculturist/livestock users.
