Genome-wide analysis of <i>Schistosoma mansoni</i> reveals population structure and praziquantel drug selection pressure within Ugandan hot-spot communities

2022-01-27

Abstract excerpt

Populations within schistosomiasis control areas, especially those in Africa, are recommended to receive regular mass drug administration (MDA) with praziquantel (PZQ) as the main strategy for controlling the disease. The impact of PZQ treatment on schistosome genetics remains poorly understood, and is limited by a lack of high-resolution genetic data on the population structure of parasites within these control a...
