Determination of diagnostic cycle threshold (Ct) cut-offs for qPCR-based prevalence surveys of soil-transmitted helminth infections

The paper establishes Ct cut-offs for qPCR to detect transmissible soil-transmitted helminth infections using data from 29,980 samples.

Global diversity of soil-transmitted helminths reveals population-biased genetic variation that impacts diagnostic targets

The paper assesses genetic diversity of soil-transmitted helminths across regions and evaluates its impact on molecular diagnostic targets using low-coverage genome sequencing and in vitro assays.

Genomic insights into local scale evolution of ocular Chlamydia trachomatis strains within and between individuals in Gambian trachoma-endemic villages

This study analyzes genomic variation in Chlamydia trachomatis serovars A and B from Gambian trachoma-endemic villages to understand strain diversification and evolutionary pressures.

Genomics of Ocular Chlamydia trachomatis after 5 years of SAFE interventions for trachoma in Amhara, Ethiopia

The paper analyzes genomic variation in Chlamydia trachomatis from Ethiopia to assess its role in continued transmission after SAFE interventions.

Population-based analysis of ocular Chlamydia trachomatis in trachoma-endemic West African communities identifies genomic markers of disease severity

The paper analyzes Ct genomic diversity and identifies SNPs associated with ocular localization and disease severity in a West African trachoma-endemic population.
