The paper uses genetic modeling to analyze the evolutionary origins of dihydrofolate reductase mutations in Plasmodium vivax, finding single and multiple origins for different mutations.

The paper compares the genetic diversity of Theileria annulata in cattle and water buffalo in Pakistan, finding higher diversity in cattle-derived populations.

The paper characterizes Fasciola gigantica in Punjab, Pakistan, identifying genetic differences and potential dispersal routes among neighboring countries in the Indian subcontinent.

The paper introduces a metabarcoded DNA sequencing method for detecting Plasmodium species in human malaria patients, showing improved diagnostic performance compared to an immunochromatographic assay.

The paper analyzes genetic diversity and multiplicity of infection in Fasciola gigantica isolates from Pakistani livestock using mt-ND-1 locus sequencing.

The paper identifies the F200Y mutation as a common benzimidazole resistance mutation in Haemonchus contortus and H. placei in buffalo and cattle, showing multiple emergence events in H. contortus and a single emergence in H. placei.
