Great minds, map alike: Citizen and expert distribution models of schistosome snail hosts in rural west Uganda

2025-05-02

Abstract excerpt

1. Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease that affects over 250 million people worldwide, with the majority living in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa. The parasite relies on freshwater snails of the genus Biomphalaria as intermediate hosts. Mapping snail distribution is vital for identifying disease transmission hotspots. However, expert-led monitoring is often constrained by limited resources and restricte...
