The genome and transcriptome of the snail <i>Biomphalaria sudanica s.l.</i> : Immune gene diversification and highly polymorphic genomic regions in an important African vector of <i>Schistosoma mansoni</i>
2023-11-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Control and elimination of schistosomiasis is an arduous task, with current strategies proving inadequate to break transmission. Exploration of genetic approaches to interrupt Schistosoma mansoni transmission, the causative agent for human intestinal schistosomiasis in sub-Saharan Africa and South America, has led to genomic research of the snail vector hosts of the genus Biomphalaria . Few...
