Texas Biomed Staff Scientists Winka Le Clec’h, Frédéric Chevalier and Professor Tim Anderson check on snails that are a vector for the parasites that cause schistosomiasis. The Anderson lab maintains the full, complex lifecycle of the schistosome parasites, which pass through several larval stages before infecting humans where they transform into adult worms.
