The paper validates a method to generate genome-wide polymorphism datasets from individual hookworm larvae, showing that accurate variant calling is possible with sufficient DNA input and strict filtering.

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

The paper identifies regional subpopulations and gene flow patterns of Plasmodium falciparum in Africa using genome-wide microsatellite loci from 992 isolates.

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

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.

This study identifies five genome-wide associations with severe malaria risk in 17,000 individuals from Africa, Asia, and Oceania, including a new variant linked to cerebral malaria.

This paper develops a method to sequence Plasmodium falciparum genomes from dried blood spots using selective whole genome amplification, achieving high concordance with venous blood samples.
