The paper uses machine learning and remote sensing to analyze 30 years of snail occurrence data in Brazil, showing climate change and urbanization have altered Biomphalaria habitat suitability.

This paper develops a convolutional neural network to classify freshwater snails and parasites with high accuracy, outperforming human experts in some cases.

This study shows agrochemicals increase schistosome-infected snail densities, potentially raising schistosomiasis transmission risks in endemic areas.
