A colony of Bulinus (Phyopsis) globosus was established in the laboratory for testing for molluscicidal activity in Nigerian medicinal plants. The snails were established with slight modification of the method of McClelland. Plant extracts (181) employed in Nigerian herbal medicine were screened for molluscicidal activity following the WHO method with laboratory reared snails of known age. Only 23 (12.7%) of these plant extracts showed 100% mortality to the snails at a concentration of 100 ppm of extract.
