Stage-aware transcriptomics reveals selective haplotype persistence in short-term ex vivo cultured Plasmodium vivax

This study shows that short-term ex vivo culture of Plasmodium vivax enriches late asexual stages and selectively filters clones without inducing major transcriptional changes.

Adaptive evolution of Plasmodium vivax in Duffy-negative hosts; insights from East African genomes

This study analyzes genome-wide SNPs in Plasmodium vivax isolates from Duffy-negative and Duffy-positive hosts in Ethiopia, identifying genetic adaptations associated with DARC-independent invasion mechanisms.

The influence of Temperature and Relative Humidity on the Development and Survival of Laboratory-Reared Anopheles arabiensis in Ethiopia

This study examines how temperature and humidity affect the development and survival of Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes in Ethiopia, finding optimal conditions for egg hatchability and adult emergence.

The origin, invasion history and resistance architecture of Anopheles stephensi in Africa.

This study traces the origin and spread of Anopheles stephensi in Africa using genomic data and identifies insecticide resistance genes from Asia.

Copy number variations of Plasmodium vivax DBP1, EBP/DBP2, and RBP2b in Duffy-positive and Duffy-negative Ethiopians

The paper investigates copy number variations of Plasmodium vivax genes in Duffy-positive and Duffy-negative Ethiopians, finding higher duplication rates in Duffy-positive samples.

Plasmodium falciparum transmission in the highlands of Ethiopia is driven by closely related and clonal parasites

The paper analyzes P. falciparum genetic diversity and transmission patterns in Ethiopian highlands, finding local transmission and clonal parasite spread.

A whole transcriptomic approach reveals novel mechanisms of organophosphate and pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles arabiensis from Ethiopia

This paper uses transcriptomic analysis to identify novel resistance mechanisms in Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes resistant to organophosphates and pyrethroids in Ethiopia.

Whole Genome Sequencing of Plasmodium vivax Isolates Reveals Frequent Sequence and Structural Polymorphisms in Erythrocyte Binding Genes

This study analyzes whole genome sequences of Plasmodium vivax isolates from Ethiopia to identify sequence and structural polymorphisms in erythrocyte binding genes, revealing positive selection and gene copy number variations associated with host-parasite interactions.

Genome-wide gene expression profiling reveals that cuticle alterations and P450 detoxification are associated with pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles arabiensis populations from Ethiopia

This study identifies cuticle alterations and P450 detoxification as resistance mechanisms in pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles arabiensis populations from Ethiopia using RNAseq.
