Fascioliasis is an endemic zoonotic disease that is very common in eastern Uttar Pradesh. The production of essential oils from a variety of plants is crucial to human health. According to the current study, the essential oils of different plant materials of Lantana indica work well as herbal molluscicides against the vector snail Lymnaea acuminata. Essential oils from different plant materials of Lantana indica are extracted utilizing both traditional and nontraditional methods, including solvent extraction (SE) and hydrodistillation (HD). It is clear from the findings section that the essential oils from Tachyspermum ammi seeds and Syzygium aromaticum cloves both exhibit strong molluscicidal activity (24-hour LC50 value is 3.76 especially against the vector snail Lymnaea acuminata. The results of the current study clearly demonstrated the tremendous harm that the essential oils cause to the vector snails. Establishing the molluscicidal action of the essential oils of different plant material of Lantana indica against the vector snail Lymnaea acuminata is the goal of the current study.
