Under ongoing climate changes, the development of large‐scale monitoring tools for assessing the risk of disease emergence constitutes an urging challenge. Especially for snail‐borne diseases such as the urogenital bilharziasis that threat European countries. The widespread of this tropical disease relies on the local presence of compatible snail hosts

Abstract Schistosomiasis affects at least 200 million people in tropical and subtropical areas. The major pathology of schistosomiasis is egg‐induced liver granuloma characterized by an eosinophil‐rich inflammatory infiltration around the eggs, which subsequently leads to hepatic fibrosis and circulatory impairment in host.

A New Method to Test Molluscicides against the Philippine Schistosomiasis Snail Vectors
To expedite the discovery of novel molluscicides in the laboratory, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of a new molluscicidal assay. This assay is based on Oncomelania hupensis quadrasi snails and is called miniaturized plate test or mpt. To perform this assay, a 12‐well plate, 3 snails per well, and 24‐h exposure period were used.

Background. Schistosomiasis is caused by Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium in Africa. These schistosome parasites use freshwater snail intermediate hosts to complete their lifecycle. Varied prevalence rates of these parasites in the snail intermediate hosts were reported from several African countries, but there were no summarized data for ...
