Micro-scale genetic structure and genetic variation of Neotricula aperta (Gastropoda: Pomatiopsidae), the intermediate host of Schistosoma mekongi (Digenea: Schistosomatidae) in Champasak Province, Laos

Micro-scale genetic structure and genetic variation of Neotricula aperta (Gastropoda: Pomatiopsidae), the intermediate host of Schistosoma mekongi (Digenea: Schistosomatidae) in Champasak Province, Laos

Abstract Background Neotricula aperta, a freshwater snail found in the Mekong River, serves as the intermediate host of the blood fluke Schistosoma mekongi, the causative agent of schistosomiasis mekongi in Cambodia and Laos. Understanding the genetic diversity, population structure of this snail in...
