Environmental DNA-based xenomonitoring for determining Schistosoma presence in tropical freshwaters
Abstract Background Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease that infects over 200 million people worldwide. Control measures can benefit from improved surveillance methods in freshwaters, with environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys having the potential to offer effective and rapid detection of sch...
