Abstract
The effect of lining snails'aquaria with different materials on efficacy of the
molluscicides niclosamide and copper sulphate on Biomphalaria alexandrina snails
under laboratory and semi-field conditions was studied. Under laboratory conditions,

and exposed to the sub-lethal concentration(LC50) of niclosamide showed a highly
significant reduction (p
