This study finds that laboratory Schistosoma mansoni populations retain abundant genetic variation, with implications for drug resistance studies and GWAS.

The paper investigates the fitness consequences of selfing and outcrossing in malaria parasites using fluorescent-labelled clones and finds an outcrossing advantage linked to faster sporozoite maturation and increased recombination.

The paper detects recent contamination in a laboratory Schistosoma mansoni population and shows how genetic drift causes divergence in parasite populations over time.

This study investigates how parasite and host genetics influence immunopathology and infection outcomes in Schistosoma mansoni infections in mice.
