The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of Dugesia dorotocephala on Methyl parathion removal. An initial concentration of 1.25 μg mL−1 of MeP was used to evaluate the removal capacity of planarian. A first-order removal kinetics was obtained with a disappearance rate constant ( kr) of 0.49 days−1 and 69% efficiency on contaminant removal. This is significantly different ( p < 0.5) from the degradation occurring in control systems, leading us to conclude that D. dorotocephala effectively removes MeP from contaminated water.
