The genome and transcriptome of the snail Biomphalaria sudanica s.l. : Immune gene diversification and highly polymorphic genomic regions in an important African vector of Schistosoma mansoni .

genome and analyses presented here will facilitate future research in vector immune defense mechanisms against pathogens. This genomic/transcriptomic resource provides necessary data for the future development of molecular snail vector control/surveillance tools, facilitating schistosome transmission interruption mechanisms in Africa.
