Abstract: Fascioliasis is the plant-borne trematode zoonoses caused by Fasciola hepatica and Fasiciola gigantica . One of the possible approaches to control this problem is to interrupt the life cycle of the parasitic trematode by eliminating the intermediate host snail. Baits were prepared from binary combinations of carbohydrate + amino acid (10mM) in 2% agar solution with active molluscicidal component Ricin (Ricinus communis), Alkaloid atropine (Datura stramonium) and their binary combination in 1:1ratio. The behavioural responses of snails to these binary combinations of carbohydrate and amino acid in bait formulations were examined. Attraction of sails was studied by using clear glass aquaria having diameter of 30 cm. Each aquarium was divided into four concentric Zones; Zone-3 (central Zone), Zone-2 and Zone-1 (middle Zone) and Zone-0 (outer Zone) had a diameter of 13, 18, 24 and 30 cm, respectively. Among all the binary combinations highest attraction of snail (39.23%) was noted towards the bait containing starch + serine + atropine. Starch + serine + binary combination of ricin and atropine bait formulation was most potent molluscicide (96LC50% 0.10%) against Lymnaea acuminata. The present study suggested that the molluscicides of plant origin could be used with varying degrees of success in bait formulation.
