Ecological and Physicochemical Determinants of Freshwater Snail Prevalence, Density, and Schistosome Infection in the Lango Subregion, Northern Uganda: Implications for Disease Control

2025-02-27

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background </bold>Freshwater snails serve as intermediate hosts for trematodes that cause human and animal diseases, notably schistosomiasis and fascioliasis. In Uganda’s Lango subregion, schistosomiasis remains endemic, yet the ecological and physicochemical factors influencing snail prevalence, density, and infection remain poorly understood. This study investigated these factor...
