Navigating parasite antigen genetic diversity in the design of Plasmodium vivax serological exposure markers for malaria

This study evaluates how genetic diversity in Plasmodium vivax antigens affects serological markers for malaria exposure and finds that using multiple antigens can improve detection accuracy.

The genome of the brackish-water malaria vector Anopheles aquasalis

This paper presents the genome of Anopheles aquasalis, a brackish-water malaria vector, and identifies key genes related to osmoregulation, immunity, and insecticide resistance.

Stepping into a dangerous quagmire: environmental determinants of human-lancehead pit vipers (Bothrops genus) contact resulting in injuries, Brazilian Amazon

This study identifies environmental factors associated with human-lancehead pit viper bites in the Brazilian Amazon, finding higher incidence in lowlands with preserved vegetation, heavy rainfall, and high humidity.
