Schistosoma mansoni population exomics (Senegal, Niger, Tanzania)
In this project, we sequenced sequenced exomes from individual schistosome larvae (miracidia) obtained from patient stools from West and East Africa in order to have a comprehensive view of the natural variation in coding regions of the parasite's genome.We specifically analyzed variation in the SmSULT-OR gene , the gene involved in oxamniquine resistance. An exome-wide analysis using these samples is on going.
