Reducing disease and producing food: Effects of 13 agrochemicals on snail biomass and human schistosomes

2021-01-06

Abstract excerpt

Agrochemical use is predicted to increase 2-5 fold by 2050 to meet food demand. Evidence suggests that agrochemical pollution could increase snails that transmit the disease schistosomiasis to 250 million people, but most agrochemicals remain unexamined. Here we quantify the relative effects of fertilizer, six insecticides, and six herbicides on snail genera responsible for 90% of global schistosomiasis cases. We...
