The paper shows that genetic background influences whether Pfkelch13 mutations confer short-term artemisinin tolerance or long-term persistence in Plasmodium falciparum.

The paper evaluates the impact of drug resistance mutations on antimalarial drug resistance and fitness in Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Senegal using genetic and phenotypic assays.

The paper investigates how industrialization affects microbial and physiological traits in the human gut across diverse populations, finding homogenized microbiomes, reduced diversity, and impaired disease prediction accuracy in less industrialized groups.

The paper develops a rapid, cost-effective nanopore sequencing protocol and bioinformatics dashboard for continental-scale genomic surveillance of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in sub-Saharan Africa.

This study detects de novo mutations in Plasmodium falciparum to reconstruct disease transmission pathways and identify clade expansions not detectable with previous methods.
