The paper investigates how geographical variation influences the adaptive evolution of Plasmodium falciparum mutations that counteract sickle cell trait protection.

The paper develops a targeted sequencing panel for Plasmodium falciparum that approximates whole genome sequencing for population genetics analyses.

This study performs population genomic analysis of Plasmodium ovale species in sub-Saharan Africa, finding differences in nucleotide diversity and signatures of selection between the two species.

This study analyzes genetic diversity and selection signatures in the Pfcsp gene of Plasmodium falciparum from Tanzanian regions with varying malaria transmission to inform vaccine development.

The paper identifies a cryptotype in Plasmodium falciparum genomes across Africa, characterized by a complex genetic background that is geographically widespread but genetically distinct.

The paper analyzes trends of molecular markers of artemisinin resistance and lumefantrine susceptibility in Plasmodium falciparum from 2016 to 2021 in Tanzania, finding an increase in Y184F mutations and NFD haplotypes.

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.

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.
