coiaf: directly estimating complexity of infection with allele frequencies

The paper introduces two methods to directly estimate malaria parasite complexity of infection from allele frequency data, showing comparable accuracy to existing methods and identifying continental differences in COI.

Describing the current status of Plasmodium falciparum population structure and drug resistance within mainland Tanzania using molecular inversion probes

The paper analyzes genetic diversity and drug resistance mutations in Tanzanian Plasmodium falciparum isolates using molecular inversion probes, revealing population structure and geographic patterns of genetic relatedness.

The Impact of Antimalarial Resistance on the Genetic Structure of Plasmodium falciparum in the DRC

This study analyzes the genetic structure of Plasmodium falciparum in the DRC, identifying an east-west haplotype divide linked to antimalarial resistance and evidence of gene flow and selection pressures.

Evaluating the performance of malaria genomics for inferring changes in transmission intensity using transmission modelling

This study evaluates genetic metrics for inferring malaria transmission intensity changes using a transmission model and finds one metric can predict prevalence with 0.055 mean absolute error.
