Objective: To investigate the distribution of snails in different water systems in Anqing City from 2016 to 2022, so as to provide insights into snail control in the city.
Methods: Snail survey data and distribution of water systems in snail-infested environments were collected from schistosomiasis-endemic areas of Anqing City from 2016 to 2022. The vector maps of towns and water systems in Anqing City were downloaded from National Geomatics Center of China.

Background: Urogenital schistosomiasis is a persistent public health problem in many rural areas of Yemen. Since 2014, epidemiology has not been assessed in Amran governorate, north of Yemen, where is known to be highly endemic. Therefore, this study determined the prevalence and risk factors associated with infection among schoolchildren in Kharif district of the governorate.

Article Synopsis
- The World Health Organization (WHO) aims to eliminate schistosomiasis globally by 2030, with chemical control of the Bulinus snail species being a key strategy for reducing transmission on Pemba Island, Tanzania.
- Conducted malacological surveys among water bodies over three years found that the presence of Bulinus was influenced by environmental factors, with a notable decrease in their presence following niclosamide treatment.
- The study observed variable infestation levels across different hotspots and identified a pattern where some water bodies saw recurring Bulinus even after initial control measures were applied.
Genetic differentiation of Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni in hilly regions of China: Using the complete mitochondrial genome.

Department of Schistosomiasis Control and Prevention, Yunnan Institute of Endemic Disease Control and Prevention, Dali, People's Republic of China.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on sequencing the complete mitochondrial genome of Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni, the sole intermediate host for Schistosoma japonicum in southwestern China, to understand its genetic variation.
- A total of 26 mitochondrial sequences were obtained, with genomes ranging from 15,181 to 15,187 base pairs and including 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 2 rRNA, and 22 tRNA).
- Findings revealed the presence of different strains of Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni, specifically the Yunnan and Sichuan strains, with the Yunnan strain further divided into northern and southern sub-branches, highlighting significant genetic differentiation in the species.
Infection and pulmonary vascular diseases consortium: United against a global health challenge.

Leveraging the potential of virtual platforms in the post-COVID-19 era, the Infection and Pulmonary Vascular Diseases Consortium (iPVDc), with the support of the Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute (PVRI), launched a globally accessible educational program to highlight top-notch research on inflammation and infectious diseases affecting the lung vasculature. This innovative virtual series has already successfully brought together distinguished investigators across five continents - Asia, Europe, South and North America, and Africa. Moreover, these open global forums have contributed to a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay among immunology, inflammation, infection, and cardiopulmonary health, especially concerning pulmonary hypertension and related pulmonary disorders.
