Identifying and Predicting the Geographical Distribution Patterns of Oncomelania hupensis. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2019 Schistosomiasis is a snail-borne parasitic disease endemic to the tropics and subtropics, whose distribution depends on snail prevalence as determined by climatic and environmental factors. Here, dynamic spatial and temporal patterns of Oncomelania hupensis distributions were quantified using general statistics, global Moran’s I, and standard deviation
