Development of a deep amplicon sequencing method to determine the proportional species composition of piroplasm haemoprotozoa as an aid in their control

The paper develops a deep amplicon sequencing method to quantify piroplasm species proportions in co-infections and introduces the concept of a 'haemoprotobiome'.

Selective sweep and phylogenetic models for the emergence and spread of pyrimethamine resistance mutations in Plasmodium vivax

The paper identifies positive selection pressure and selective sweeps for pyrimethamine resistance mutations in Plasmodium vivax in Pakistan, showing both single and recurrent emergence of resistance haplotypes.
