Ecological patterns and spatial distribution of medicinal mollusks in a freshwater ecosystem
Medicinal mollusks along the northern shore of Lake Taihu exhibit high diversity and density, with Zhushan Bay representing a critical area for parasite transmission. Targeted control strategies focusing on key host species and high-risk ecological nodes are recommended to support risk early-warning systems and reduce regional mollusk-borne parasitic disease risks.
