Population genetics of Glossina palpalis gambiensis in the sleeping sickness focus of Boffa (Guinea) before and after eight years of vector control: no effect of control despite a significant decrease of human exposure to the disease

The study assesses the impact of vector control on Glossina palpalis gambiensis population genetics in Guinea, finding no genetic change despite reduced tsetse density and disease prevalence.

Deceptive combined effects of short allele dominance and stuttering: an example with Ixodes scapularis, the main vector of Lyme disease in the U.S.A.

The paper examines how short allele dominance and stuttering in microsatellite data affect genetic diversity metrics in Ixodes scapularis ticks, showing significant heterozygote deficits and linkage disequilibrium.
