Effects of land use on intermediate snail host fauna, abundance, distribution and cercariae infection rate in Omo-Gibe river basin, Ethiopia

2020-01-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Land use and land cover change significantly affects biodiversity, abundance and distribution of intermediate snail host fauna. In Omo-Gibe river basin the extent of land-use change is high due to anthropogenic activities leading to habitat change of freshwater snail intermediate hosts. Most intermediate snail hosts of human Schistosome parasites belong to two genera, Biomphalaria and Bulinus...
