Schistosomiasis is still a public health problem in Cameroon. Urinary form caused by S. haematobium is the most widespread and is transmitted to humans by snails which serve as intermediate host. Bulinus truncatus and B. globosus being the most important. In an attempt to explain the observed diversity in the functioning of urinary schistosomiasis focy, a genetic study of B. truncatus and B. globosus population's structure was conducted using microsatellite markers.In B. truncatus populations, genetic diversity at some loci is relatively high but no heterozygotes were observed, probably due to a very high rate of self-fertilization. A strong genetic structure was observed between populations, it may results from the combined actions of self...
