We are delighted to see our work on #praziquantel response in #schistosome published in @ScienceTM. We identified a genetic locus associated with lower #PZQ response, generated enriched resistant populations and investigated the field genetic diversity. doi.org/10.1126/scitranslmed…

Did you miss our latest paper on #praziquantel 💊 and #schistosome 🐛? We reanalyzed our data with the latest genome assembly, showing that a a single QTL rather than 2 is involved in #PZQ response.
More info on 🦣: scicomm.xyz/@fdchevalier/111…
📄: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Our paper on updated genetic mapping of #PZQ response in #schistosome is finally out in #AACJournal edited by the @ASMicrobiology! Get your #OpenAccess copy and have a nice weekend read!
