Optimized MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry enables reliable identification of freshwater snails from schistosomiasis-endemic areas in Mauritania

2026-06-03

Abstract excerpt

Freshwater snails act as intermediate hosts for parasites affecting both humans and livestock, including schistosomes. In Mauritania, however, the diversity, distribution, and infection status of these snails remain poorly documented. This study aimed to identify freshwater snail species collected from two schistosomiasis-endemic areas in southern Mauritania, characterize their spatial distribution, and assess the...
