Overview
Biomphalaria snails are instrumental in transmission of the human blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni . With the World Health Organization's goal to eliminate schistosomiasis as a global health problem by 2025, there is now renewed emphasis on snail control. Here, we characterize the genome of Biomphalaria glabrata, a lophotrochozoan protostome, and provide timely and important information on snail biology. We describe aspects of phero-perception, stress responses, immune function and regulation of gene expression that support the persistence of B . glabrata in the field and may define this species as a suitable snail host for S . mansoni . We identify several potential targets for developing novel control measures aimed at reducing snail-mediated transmission of schistosomiasis. B iomphalaria glabrata  is a fresh water snail that acts as a host for trematode  Schistosoma mansoni  that causes intestinal infection in human. This work describes the genome and transcriptome analyses from 12 different tissues of  B glabrata , and identify genes for snail behavior and evolution.
