Chromosome-level genome assembly of Oncomelania hupensis: the intermediate snail host of Schistosoma japonicum

Abstract Background Schistosoma japonicum is a parasitic flatworm that causes human schistosomiasis, which is a significant cause of morbidity in China, the Philippines and Indonesia. Oncomelania hupensis (Gastropoda: Pomatiopsidae) is the unique intermediate host of S. japonicum. A complete genome...
