Population genomic analyses of schistosome parasites highlight critical challenges facing endgame elimination efforts

Abstract Schistosomiasis persists in Asian regions despite aggressive elimination measures. To identify factors enabling continued parasite transmission, we performed reduced representation genome sequencing on Schistosoma japonicum miracidia collected across multiple years from transmission hotspot...
