  1. cox1, Cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 mitochondrial gene, ITS internal transcribed spacer, n number of individuals, Sb Schistosoma bovis, Sc Schistosoma curassoni, Sh Schistosoma haematobium, SNP single nucleotide polymorphism, T–ARMS tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system
  2. aThe genetic profiles are inferred by Sanger sequencing of the T-ARMS regions of the ITS, 18S and by the rapid diagnostic multiplex PCR (RD-PCR) region of the cox1 DNA [45]
  3. bThe sequence of the ITS or 18S cannot be distinguished between the two species as the region analysed does not contain species-specific SNPs
  4. cEthical clearance was obtained from the Faculty of Medicine, Pharmacology, and Odonto-Stomatology of Mali (reference no.2018/71/CE/FMPOS)
  5. dEthical clearance was obtained from the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene in Ivory Coast (reference no.003–18/MSHP/CNER-kp) [38]
