Regulation of <i>Schistosoma</i> infections in snail populations: a modelling framework with inheritable resistance in snails

2026-08-19

Abstract excerpt

Freshwater snails are indispensable intermediate hosts in the transmission of human Schistosoma species, parasitic worms that infect millions of people worldwide and cause the disease schistosomiasis. It is unclear why prevalences of patent Schistosoma infections in snails from endemic regions are usually low and apparently unassociated with human infection rates. Using mathematical modelling, we demonstrate how...
