Biomphalaria glabrata snails are an intermediate host species for Schistosoma mansoni. Persons infected with schistosomes may be more susceptible to HIV infection, and treatment for the parasite may be a low-cost public health measure to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS in schistosomiasis-endemic areas.
