In the future, these observations may help public health practitioners and policy makers in effective communication with communities on issues regarding the use of TSR snails to interrupt schistosomiasis transmission, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.TiO2-PILCs and iron-doped TiO2-PILCs were employed in order to destroy toxic microcystin-LR in the presence of H2O2 under the UV light. While less than 5% of the initial microcystin-LR and TOC disappeared in 240 min with the TiO2-PILCs, almost complete conversion of microcystin-LR could be achieved in 180 min on the 10 wt% iron-doped TiO2-PILC-A. On the exterior surface of the iron-doped TiO2-PILCs were mainly located iron particles which had nano-sized diameter and Fe2+/Fe3+ cations together. Through Fenton-type oxidation on iron particles with H2O2, the big microcystin-LR molecules were converted primarily into smaller intermediate organic molecules of hydrocarbons, carboxylic acids and organic amines. The smaller intermediate molecules were believed to be diffused into the pores of the iron-doped TiO2-PILCs and to be further mineralized into CO2 and H2O through the action of photocatalysis on the TiO2 pillars. However, complete conversion of TOC could not be obtained due to the iron particle deactivation. XPS, TPO and TEM studies showed the continuous accumulation of carbonaceous materials onto the surface of iron particles.A captive, adult female Brent goose (Branta bernicla) with a history of severe feather picking by its mate, was presented with 0.5-2.5 cm skin nodules
