Limited Impact of Schistosome Infection on <i>Biomphalaria glabrata</i> Snail Microbiomes
2024-10-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> The microbiome of disease vectors can be a key determinant of their ability to transmit parasites. Conversely, parasite infection may modify vector microbiomes. We are exploring the interactions between the Biomphalaria glabrata snail microbiome and the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni , responsible for an estimated 200,000 human deaths each year. Snail hosts vary in their susceptibility to s...
