Predicted changes in habitat suitability for human schistosomiasis intermediate host snails for modelled future climatic conditions in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Predicted changes in habitat suitability for human schistosomiasis intermediate host snails for modelled future climatic conditions in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Introduction: Climate change alters environmental and climatic conditions, leading to expansion or contraction and possible shifts in the geographical distribution of vectors that transmit diseases. Bulinus globosus and Biomphalaria pfeifferi are the intermediate host snails for human schistosomiasi...
