However, the intermediate host Oncomelania hupensis persists and new habitats in non-endemic villages pose resurgence risks if parasites are reintroduced. To evaluate genetic resilience and dispersal potential, we analyzed six O. hupensis populations (214 snails) from ecologically distinct habitats in Wuzhong district, Suzhou (2018 to 2021): Guangfu (GF20 and GF21: wetlands), Jinting (JT18, JT19, and JT20: isolated island), and Dongshan (DS19: lakeside hills).
