Snails aren't related with malaria, they are in the cycle of other diseases. In fact some snails could end helping us to treat malaria.
If is acceptable to eliminate snails that cause diseases when they are alien species. South American snails shouldn't live in Egypt, for example.

- pvaldes 5y ago> Snails are part of lifecycle of parasite that is spreading malaria. Hum... That claim sounds really strange to me. Plasmodium falciparum cycle has been thoroughly studied and it never mentions a snail. I think that you are confusing it with other organisms like Schistosoma (not even in the same Kingdom), but maybe is a recent discovery and I could be wrong. Can you share a link?
- Bobylonian 5y agoSadly, no. The one that I got information about those snails was YT video about eradicating some specific snails, to disrupt lifecycle of mosquitoes, as their larvae was living in these snails. I kinda feel regret(on other hand my regret is memory of having this extra information) that I have not saved link, because it was very long and very informative video and showed all the different issues, to do that task. I would highly recommend it to watch it, but you have to find it by yourself - may the RNG of YT is on your side in this task.
