This study identifies novel rodent hosts of hepaciviruses, documents their diversity, and estimates the origin of the genus to be about 22 million years ago.

This study evaluates the sensitivity and specificity of the POC-CCA test for detecting livestock schistosomiasis in Senegal, finding variable performance by parasite species and location.

The paper identifies Flaviviridae-derived endogenous viral elements in shrew genomes, revealing an ancient origin of pestiviruses and their potential role as natural reservoirs.

This study analyzes genomic data from Schistosoma mansoni to determine if there was a population bottleneck during its colonization of the Americas and identifies regions under selection.

The paper examines gut microbiota seasonality in wild wood mice, finding consistent seasonal restructuring despite taxonomic divergence between populations.

The paper identifies widespread oxamniquine resistance alleles in Old World Schistosoma mansoni populations, showing they predate drug use and exist as standing genetic variation.

The paper identifies an ancient introgression event between Schistosoma haematobium and S. bovis, with adaptive selection on an invadolysin gene.
