Biomphalaria glabrata immunity: Post-genome advances. [PDF]
Dev Comp Immunol, 2020 The freshwater snail, Biomphalaria glabrata, is an important intermediate host in the life cycle for the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni, the causative agent of schistosomiasis. Current treatment and prevention strategies have not led to a significant decrease in disease transmission. However, the genome of B.
