Immune targets for schistosomiasis control identified by a genome-wide association study of African snail vectors

2025-01-03

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease, is transmitted by freshwater snails. Interruption of transmission will require novel vector-focused interventions. We performed a genome-wide association study of African snails, <italic>Biomphalaria sudanica</italic>, exposed to <italic>Schistosoma mansoni</italic> in an endemic area of high transmission in Kenya. Two snail genomic regions...
