Dietary variations drive divergent phenotypic, transcriptomic, and metatranscriptomic profiles in <i>Biomphalaria glabrata</i> , a schistosomiasis vector snail

2025-09-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata is an important natural vector for the human parasitic trematode Schistosoma mansoni, which causes schistosomiasis. In the laboratory, B. glabrata are routinely maintained on simple lettuce diets. We aimed to explore and compare the impact of alternative diets on snail performance, global gene expression, and microbiome. <h4>Methods</h4> Snails w...
