Moreover, to successfully implement effective targeted snail control measures, it is essential to regularly monitor their spatial and temporal distribution throughout the country.
  • In conclusion, recent data on the distribution of the intermediate host snails in the DRC are lacking, despite the widespread presence of schistosomiasis throughout the country as indicated by the Global Atlas of Helminthes Infections (GAHI 2023). The population dynamics data have only been documented for Bi. pfeifferi and none for Bulinus species, which are responsible for the transmission of S. haematobium and S. intercalatum. Moreover, comprehensive abiotic and biotic data that account for the influence of ecological factors on the population dynamics of the intermediate host snails are incomplete for most snail species. Additionally, is it important to note that there is no standardisation in snail sampling and identification methods, which hampers data comparability across different studies. Considering all these factors, conducting current malacological studies in the DRC is necessary to understand intermediate host snails and transmission by specific vector species. This will enable us to accurately assess the risk of schistosomiasis and help support control efforts in the DRC.
