Dr. Winka Le Clec'h and Dr. Frédéric Chevalier are attending the SymbNET conference in Olhão, Algarve, Portugal. They will present posters on Stephanie Nordmeyer’s PhD research, which addresses the following topics: the impact of schistosome infection on snail microbiomes ("Does schistosome infection impact the microbiomes of the aquatic snail vector?") and microbiome heritability ("Is microbiome composition in the aquatic snail Biomphalaria genetically controlled?").
