New preprint! Proud to be part of this important study on the #genome of an African #snail vector that transmits #parasites causing #schistosomiasis, one of the most prevalent #NeglectedTropicalDiseases affecting >200 million people. I know, you've seen genome papers before, but wait there's more! We actually sequenced several inbred lines, allowing us to find and characterize highly variable genes of possible immune relevance.

30 January is #WorldNTDDay. Very keen to return to more research around Neglected Tropical Diseases, now the pandemic has been blunted a little bit, and countries are looking to mainstream their covid19 management.
