Predicting current habitat suitability for intermediate snail hosts of urogenital and intestinal schistosomiasis in the Lower Shire Valley floodplain of southern Malawi
The distribution of suitable habitats for potential urogenital and intestinal schistosomiasis transmission across LSV is not uniform and typically non-overlapping. Understanding the spatial and temporal distributions of these snails is important for controlling and eliminating schistosomiasis.
