Temperature influences the transmission of many diseases, but the effects of temperature variability on the transmission of parasitic diseases are poorly understood. A new study investigated the influence of water temperature on the transmission risk for schistosomiasis, a disease that affects over 200 million people annually. Schistosomiasis is caused by parasitic worms which develop in […]
