A laboratory experiment at 20 +/- 5 degrees C shows that the water extract of fresh Nerium indicum had an obvious effect on killing Oncomelania hupensis. Treated with 0.1% water extract for four days, the mortality of O. hupensis was up to 100%. The effect of different tissues of N. indicum on O. hupensis was in order of stem phloem > leaf > root phloem > flower. The effect of N. indicum on O. hupensis was about ten times higher than that of Pterocarya stenoptera and Rumex japonicus, and was equal to that of 1 x 10(-3) mg.L-1 niclosamidum.
