Effect of water temperature and population density on the population dynamics of Schistosoma mansoni intermediate host snails
Abstract Background Mathematical models can be used to identify areas at risk of increased or new schistosomiasis transmission as a result of climate change. The results of these models can be very different when parameterised to different species of host snail, which have varying temperature prefer...
