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.

This paper develops a hybridization capture method to enrich mitochondrial genomes of soil-transmitted helminths from fecal samples, achieving high enrichment and sensitivity.

This study evaluates SNPs in β-tubulin genes of human soil-transmitted helminths to assess their association with benzimidazole resistance, finding no strong evidence for their role as resistance markers.
