Parasite evolution and impact in action: assessing the importance of hybrid schistosomes in Africa – Day 2

Science+ meeting organised by Professor J Russell Stothard, Professor Janelisa Musaya, Dr Alexandra Juhasz, and Dr Lucas Cunningham.
 
This meeting brings together various international groups and experts to discuss the biological, clinical and evolutionary importance of several newly described hybrids of Schistosoma haematobium in sub-Saharan Africa. Embracing a ‘OneHealth’ perspective, our discussions will focus upon the underlying mechanism that facilitate the emergence and dispersion of hybrids, considering their additional clinical impact in urogenital disease of children and adults.
