This study demonstrates that Tbg2 trypanosomes can establish in tsetse flies and infect mice, showing their ability to transition from procyclic to bloodstream form in vivo.

The study assesses the impact of vector control on Glossina palpalis gambiensis population genetics in Guinea, finding no genetic change despite reduced tsetse density and disease prevalence.

This paper investigates the evolutionary forces shaping MAX effector diversity in Pyricularia oryzae, showing positive selection on structural elements and host adaptation through gene loss.

The paper examines NLR sequence diversity in rice landraces and modern varieties, finding higher diversity and balancing selection in landraces, suggesting their value for disease resistance.

The paper examines the coevolution between rice landraces and their blast pathogen in China, finding that generalist pathogen lineages coexist with host genetic subdivision.

This study shows that genetic and phenotypic diversity in the rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae leads to niche separation and reproductive isolation among its lineages due to environmental conditions and host specialization.

The paper uses genome sequencing to analyze the evolutionary history of the rice blast fungus, identifying six lineages with distinct population and genetic characteristics.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing of 76 Magnaporthe oryzae isolates to analyze population structure and gene flow, revealing multiple divergent lineages and evidence of inter-lineage genetic exchange.
