Ecological Determinants and Spatial Distribution of <em>Schistosoma</em> Intermediate Host Snails in Kimpese Region, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

2026-05-02

Abstract excerpt

Schistosomiasis intermediate host snails’ data in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are limited and geographically dispersed. The objective of this study was to characterize snail habitats and identify environmental determinants of their presence. Monthly malacological surveys were conducted at 72 water contact sites. The morphological identification of the snails was complemented by the sequencing of the mitoc...
