  abstract = {{I}n {W}est {A}frica, {S}chistosoma spp. are capable of infecting multiple definitive hosts, a lifecycle feature that may complicate schistosomiasis control. {W}e characterized the evolutionary relationships among multiple {S}chistosoma mansoni isolates collected from snails (intermediate hosts), humans (definitive hosts), and rodents (definitive hosts) in {S}enegal. {O}n a local scale, diagnosis of {S}. mansoni infection ranged 3.8%-44.8% in school-aged children, 1.7%-52.6% in {M}astomys huberti mice, and 1.8%-7.1% in {B}iomphalaria pfeifferi snails. {O}ur phylogenetic framework confirmed the presence of multiple {S}. mansoni lineages that could infect both humans and rodents; divergence times of these lineages varied (0.13-0.02 million years ago). {W}e propose that extensive movement of persons across {W}est {A}frica might have contributed to the establishment of these various multihost {S}. mansoni clades. {H}igh {S}. mansoni prevalence in rodents at transmission sites frequented by humans further highlights the implications that alternative hosts could have on future public health interventions.},
