| dc.description.abstract | Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by trematodes of the genus
Schistosoma. The pathogen is transmitted via freshwater snails. These snails indirectly
benefit from agricultural pesticides which affect their enemy species. Pesticide exposure of
surface waters may thus increase the risk of schistosomiasis transmission unless it also affects
the pathogen. | en_US |
