Seasonal and landscape patterns of Fasciola infection in cryptically diverse Radix natalensis snails in the Lake Albert region, Uganda

Abstract Fasciolosis is a zoonotic foodborne trematode infection involving freshwater lymnaeid snail intermediate hosts and is highly prevalent among livestock in Uganda’s Lake Albert region. However, xenomonitoring data remain limited, particularly regarding cryptic Radix divers...

Contrasting patterns of trematode and host snail dispersal across clusters of tropical crater lakes

Abstract Background Comparing the genetic diversity and population structure of parasites and their hosts can improve understanding of their respective methods of dispersal, demographic histories, and factors driving genetic differentiation. In parasite taxa such as trematodes wh...
