First evidence of a causal link between genetic variation and thermal adaptation in a schistosome host snail
2024-01-02
Abstract excerpt
Freshwater snails are pivotal in transmitting schistosomiasis, a tropical parasitic disease affecting over 150 million people. The adaptive potential of these snails is a critical factor in determining how climate change and other environmental factors influence disease transmission dynamics, yet it has remained unexplored. Bulinus truncatus is the schistosome intermediate host snail with the widest geographic di...
