Abstract：As a widely used mollusicicide in the schistosomiasis endemic areas, niclosamide has played a critical role in the control of schistosomiasis in China. However, its toxicity to the non-target organisms and the impact on the ecological environment has been widely concerned. This review is mainly on the discussion of degradation and adsorption of niclosamide in the water-soil system and the metabolism in the organisms. All of these could provide the reference evidence for the ecological environment risk assessment.
