Spatio-ecological determinants of Biomphalaria and Bulinus snail intermediate hosts and schistosome-like infections in the Lango subregion, Northern Uganda: a geostatistical approach to guide targeted disease control

Abstract Background Freshwater snails of the genus Biomphalaria transmit Schistosoma mansoni (intestinal schistosomiasis), Bulinus species transmit S. haematobium (urogenital schistosomiasis), and Lymnaea species transmit Fasciola spp. (fascioliasis). These diseases are of major...
