Hybridization increases genetic diversity in Schistosoma haematobium populations infecting humans in Cameroon

Abstract Background Hybrids between Schistosoma haematobium (Sh) and S. bovis (Sb) have been found in several African countries as well as in Europe. Since the consequences of this hybridization are still unknown, this study aims to verify the presence of such hybrids in Cameroonian humans, to descr...
