Impact of water physicochemical properties on the survival of Oncomelania hupensis snails, the intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum

Abstract Background Schistosoma japonicum, the causative agent of schistosomiasis, heavily relies on its single intermediate host, the Oncomelania hupensis snail, for its life cycle. Controlling these snails effectively plays a pivotal role in curbing the transmission and prevalence of this disease....
