New study out! 🚨 For the first time, we tracked Trichobilharzia franki, a major cause of swimmer’s itch in Europe, in the lab. 🪱🔬 From genetics to pathology & immunity, our findings shed new light on this tricky parasite and its role in outbreaks. https://t.co/t3rguHmwLH

First, we analyzed the genetic variability of our T. franki samples. Although the parasite is known to have several haplotypes across Europe, all Czech samples were identical – even though they came from four sites >100 km apart.
