Trio of papers highlighting progress and perspectives on Schistosomiasis control through integration of genomic and epidemiological data

Congrats to Zach Nikolakis, and other coauthors within the lab and at the University of Colorado School of Medicine (Pollock and Carlton labs) on a string of three nice papers focused on integrating genomic and epidemiological data to advance control and elimination of Schistosomiasis.
