Genes linked to schistosome resistance identified in a genome-wide association study of African snail vectors

Abstract Schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease, is transmitted by freshwater snails. Interruption of transmission will require novel vector-focused interventions. We performed a genome-wide association study of African snails, Biomphalaria sudanica, exposed to Schistosoma mansoni in an endem...
