Connecting pathogen surveillance: freshwater snails may contribute to AMR dissemination as well as parasite transmission
We recently proposed a rationale for connecting AMR surveillance with schistosomiasis research. This approach not only optimises sample usage but also reflects the interconnected nature of parasite

🚨 NEW VIDEO DROP 🚨 We love supporting our customers with complex sequencing projects! Take a look behind-the-scenes at a unique project from Adam Robert’s team at LSTM! They collected 125 samples —from lakes to benches & bins—to build a microbial map of Liverpool 🏙️🦠 🎬

The HUGS team from LSTM were at the Royal Society earlier this month for a focused meeting on hybrid schistosomes in Africa. Improved disease control in animals - a tough but crucial step towards elimination. We wrote a short blog of our activities there:
