Misleading inference of schistosome epidemiology from ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and mitochondrial DNA

E.E. Enabuele, Roy N. Platt, Ehizogie Egbeobauwaye Adeyemi, M.S.O. Aisien, Oluwaremilekun Grace Ajakaye, Mahmud Umar Ali, Ebube Charles Amaechi, Tolulope Ebenezer Atalabi, Timothy Auta, Oluwaseun Bunmi Awosolu, Adamu Galadima Dagona, Omoyemwen Edo-Taiwo, Ejikeugwu Chika, C. Igbeneghu, Victor Stephen Njom, , Tim Anderson

Whole-genome SNVs from Nigerian schistosomes show cox1/ITS genotyping wrongly flags human-derived parasites as recent hybrids or zoonotic infections; they are S. haematobium with low livestock introgression.

Efficient amplicon panels for evaluating hybridization and genetic structure in the Schistosoma haematobium species group

Roy N. Platt, Grace A. Arya, Bonnie Lee Webster, Aidan Mark Emery, Timothy J.C. Anderson

The paper evaluates efficient amplicon panels for detecting hybridization and genetic structure in Schistosoma haematobium, finding that 500 SNVs capture >99% of whole genome genetic information at lower cost.

Malaria parasite population genomics during an elimination program in Eastern Myanmar

Xue Li, Grace A. Arya, Aung Myint Thu, Jordi Landier, Daniel M. Parker, Gilles Delmas, Ann N. Reyes, Khin Maung Lwin, Kanlaya Sriprawat, François Henry Nosten, Timothy J. C. Anderson

This study analyzes malaria parasite population genomics during an elimination program in Myanmar, finding genetic depauperation, localized transmission, and a dominant kelch13-R561H genotype in 2020.

Genomic data reveal a north-south split and introgression history of blood fluke (Schistosoma haematobium) populations from across Africa

Roy N. Platt, Egie Elisha Enabulele, Ehizogie Egbeobauwaye Adeyemi, Marian Onwude Agbugui, Oluwaremilekun Grace Ajakaye, Ebube Charles Amaechi, Ejikeugwu Chika, C. Igbeneghu, Victor Stephen Njom, Precious Dlamini, Grace A. Arya, Robbie Diaz, Muriel Rabone, Fiona Allan, Bonnie Lee Webster, , Timothy J. C. Anderson

The paper analyzes genomic data from Schistosoma haematobium populations across Africa, revealing a north-south genetic split and ancient introgression events with S. bovis, with some genes approaching fixation and sex chromosomes showing introgression resistance.
