Scientists from Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) have discovered two invasive freshwater snail species in Malawi, prompting concerns about snail-borne disease control in humans and animals. The snails were found during fieldwork as part of the Hybridisation in UroGenital Schistosomiasis (HUGS) project, which investigates snail-borne parasites called trematodes that can transmit the debilitating disease fascioliasis.
