Limited impact of schistosome infection on Biomphalaria glabrata snail microbiomes
The limited impact of schistosome infection on the host snail microbiomes might be explained by the long-term interaction of the two partners. Further investigations into the interactions among snails, their microbiomes and schistosome parasites may suggest strategies to disrupt the parasite lifecycle and, consequently, schistosomiasis transmission.
