Schistosoma species detection by environmental DNA assays in African freshwaters.
<h4>Background</h4>Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical parasitic disease associated with severe pathology, mortality and economic loss worldwide. Programs for disease control may benefit from specific and sensitive diagnostic methods to detect Schistosoma trematodes in aquatic enviro...
