Mapping Current and Future Schistosomiasis Risk in Rwanda under Climate Change

2026-06-04

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: Schistosomiasis transmission in Rwanda is sustained by freshwater snails of the genera Bulinus and Biomphalaria, yet these hosts’ current distribution, environmental drivers, and future climate-driven range shifts remain largely underexplored. This study modeled present and mid-century habitat suitability for genetically confirmed Bulinus (B. forskalii, B. truncatus, and B....
