Abstract

The spread of aquatic gastropod Biomphalaria glabrata , an intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni , exacerbates the burden of schistosomiasis disease worldwide. This study provides insights into the importance of microbiome for basic biological activities of freshwater snails, and offers a valuable microbial genome resource to fill the gap in the analysis of the snail-microbiota-parasite relationship.
