Comparative analysis of time-based and quadrat sampling in seasonal population dynamics of intermediate hosts of human schistosomes.
<h4>Background</h4>Despite their importance for designing and evaluating schistosomiasis control trials, little attention in the literature has been dedicated to sampling protocols for the parasite's snail intermediate hosts since their first development. We propose a comparative an...
