Development, field-testing and optimization of tools to quantify soil-transmitted helminths in fecal sludge from school pit latrines in Ethiopia

The paper develops and tests tools to quantify soil-transmitted helminth eggs in fecal sludge from school pit latrines in Ethiopia, finding that latrine-based surveys can be as precise as stool-based surveys for certain parasites.

Over-expression and increased copy numbers of a cytochrome P450 and two UDP-glucuronosyltransferase genes in macrocyclic lactone resistant Psoroptes ovis of cattle

The paper identifies over-expression and copy number variation of cytochrome P450 and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase genes in ML-resistant Psoroptes ovis mites from cattle.

The assessment of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the ss-tubulin genes in human soil-transmitted helminths exposed to different pressure with benzimidazole drugs

This study evaluates SNPs in β-tubulin genes of human soil-transmitted helminths to assess their association with benzimidazole resistance, finding no strong evidence for their role as resistance markers.
