Whole-genome sequencing of 127 adult Dirofilaria immitis from four continents reveals continental population structure predating dog domestication, an Asian source for Australian worms, and recent Europe-Central America spread.

This study evaluates TRX and DUF148 antigens for detecting prepatent Guinea worm infection in dogs using ELISA, finding DUF148 has higher sensitivity but cross-reactivity issues.

This study detects Echinococcus multilocularis in coyotes in Washington State, USA, revealing its geographic expansion and highlighting the need for improved surveillance.

This study evaluates a new Tc-24 recombinant antigen ELISA for detecting anti-T. cruzi antibodies in dogs, showing high sensitivity and specificity compared to existing tests.

This study compares the transcriptomes of adult female and first-stage larvae of Dracunculus medinensis to identify molecular adaptations and potential diagnostic markers.

This paper develops a deep amplicon sequencing method to detect multiple filarial nematode species in mosquito pools, showing high accuracy but species-specific read biases.

The paper develops a MALDI-TOF MS database for identifying North American tick species, achieving species-level accuracy with high Log Score Values.

This study identifies ves1 gene expression as the key determinant of cytoadherence in Babesia bovis-infected erythrocytes through transcriptome analysis and genetic manipulation.
