: This study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the National Ethics Committee for Health Research of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (ID: 2024.32) and the Ethics Committee of the Jiangsu Institute of Parasitic Diseases (IRB00012165). Infected N. aperta specimens were obtained from the Applied Malacology Laboratory, Department of Social and Environmental Medicine, Mahidol University. Genomic DNA of other human-infecting Schistosoma species ( S. japonicum , S. haematobium , S. mansoni ) was provided by the Jiangsu Institute of Parasitic Diseases. During field sampling, collected host snails were not returned to their habitats regardless of infection status to avoid potential reintroduction of prepatent infections.
