The paper identifies a host-derived phosphatidylcholine that induces multicellular aggregation in Capsaspora owczarzaki, suggesting a link between host physiology and symbiont behavior.

This paper presents the first genome and transcriptome assembly of Biomphalaria sudanica s.l., identifies immune-related genes and polymorphic regions, and highlights potential pathogen recognition mechanisms in an African Schistosoma mansoni vector.

This study identifies Bulinus species in Kenya's Lake Victoria Basin and determines their role as hosts for Schistosoma species, finding that some species transmit S. haematobium while others transmit S. bovis.
