Spatio-ecological determinants of freshwater snail intermediate hosts and schistosome infection in the Lango subregion, Northern Uganda: a geostatistical approach to targeted disease control

2026-03-05

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold> Freshwater snails of the genera <italic>Biomphalaria</italic> , <italic>Bulinus</italic> , and <italic>Lymnaea</italic> serve as intermediate hosts for trematodes causing schistosomiasis and fascioliasis, diseases of major public health concern in sub-Saharan Africa. In Uganda's Lango subregion, schistosomiasis remains endemic despite control efforts, ye...
