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.

The paper uses population genomics and functional genetics to identify praziquantel resistance variants in Schistosoma mansoni.

The paper analyzes whole-genome sequences of Schistosoma mansoni from Ugandan fishing communities to assess population structure and genetic changes associated with praziquantel treatment.

The paper identifies a transient receptor potential channel (Sm.TRPMPZQ) as the genetic basis for variation in praziquantel response in Schistosoma mansoni.

The paper develops AL-PHA beads, bioplastic-based protease biosensors, and demonstrates their ability to detect specific proteases in various samples.

The paper evaluates DNA extraction methods for whole genome sequencing of individual helminth eggs and larvae, showing successful sequencing for six of eight species tested.

This paper compares genomes of 81 nematode and platyhelminth species to identify gene families related to parasitism and prioritize new drug targets.
