Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni is the only intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum in hilly regions of south-west China, which plays a key role during the transmission of Schistosomiasis. This study aimed to sequence the complete mitochondrial genome of Oncomelania hupensis roberts...
