    Abstract: Effects of extracts of Euphorbia pulcherima and Atriplex nummularia on infection rate and cercarial production of The Bulinus truncatus infected with Schistosoma haematobium, as well as on the free living stages of the parasite (miracidia and cercariae) besides biochemical parameters of the snail were studied. The results showed that the LC25 of th... Show More

    Abstract: A toxicity data set of 58 phenols to Tetrahymena pyriformis expressed as pEC50 (Log to base 10 of effective concentration, EC50) was taken from literature and the molecular structure of each molecule was optimized to obtain their minimum energy geometry. The descriptors of each optimized molecule were computed and subsequently used to build QSTR mo... Show More
