Prevalence of Schistosoma japonicum in Wild Rodents in Five Islands of the West Dongting Lake, China
To estimate the prevalence of Schistosoma japonicum in field rodents, we conducted surveys of S. japonicum infection on 5 islands in the west Dongting Lake, China: Julinyuan, Jiangjiazui, Longwangmiao, Goutouzhou, and Niujiaojian. Thirty-five Rattus flavipectus, 43 Rattus norvegicus, 42 Rattus rattu...
