Abstract
The molluscicide Bayer 73 has been tested widely in laboratories and in small field experiments. It was decided in Southern Rhodesia, where mollusciciding is an important weapon in the control of bilharziasis, that the chemical should be tested against the local host snails both in the laboratory and on a large field scale. The results have been most encouraging and have led to the conclusion that Bayer 73 is one of the most effective molluscicides produced to date.
