TL;DR: It is shown that resistance to commonly prescribed antibiotics in Cameroon is high and the urgent need to address gaps in the standardization of AMR diagnostics, reporting and use of available information to optimize treatment guidelines for the arsenal of antibiotics is emphasized.

TL;DR: This study provides novel insights into genetic diversity and population genetic structure of S. bovis, a highly widespread and prevalent schistosome infecting ruminants and therefore of veterinary importance.

TL;DR: An endpoint PCR-based assay using female-specific sequences identified using a genome-wide comparative analysis between males and females is presented, which allowed us to identify sex-markers for Schistosoma haematobium and SchistOSoma bovis but also the hybrid between both species that has recently emerged in Corsica (France).

TL;DR: Signs of gene flow and cross-fertilization are found, even between snails from the Nile Delta and Upper Egypt, indicating that B. truncatus can travel across large distances in Egypt, which could have serious consequences for disease epidemiology.

TL;DR: Findings may explain the high adaptability to more diverse and inconstant habitats, as well as the better compatibility of B. pfeifferi to S. mansoni compared with B. camerunensis, and may support the sustainability of S.mansoni life cycle where this intermediate host prevails.
