Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores the microbiome of spp. snails, which play a role in transmitting human pathogens, revealing a diverse and distinct microbiome present in the snails' hemolymph compared to their water environment.
  • - Researchers dissected two different snail species and sampled their organs, demonstrating that each organ has its own specific microbiome with lower diversity compared to the overall hemolymph and whole-snail microbiomes.
  • - The findings highlight the importance of analyzing individual organ microbiomes to fully understand the overall snail microbiome and its implications for health and disease research.
