This study investigates how iron availability and exposure affect virulence traits in Enterobacter cloacae complex isolates, showing increased growth, antibiotic resistance, and biofilm formation with iron.

This study analyzes SCD demographics and clinical outcomes in Gambian cohorts, finding low crisis and infection rates without hydroxyurea use and benefits of folic acid and penicillin.

The paper identifies a new P. falciparum locus associated with sickle haemoglobin in mild malaria cases from Ghana, replicating previous findings and suggesting further research is needed.

The paper investigates how geographical variation influences the adaptive evolution of Plasmodium falciparum mutations that counteract sickle cell trait protection.

The paper analyzes the evolution and prevalence of dhfr and dhps resistance alleles and haplotypes across Africa using whole genome data from multiple countries.

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 implements a Nanopore sequencing workflow for P. falciparum genomic surveillance in Ghana, identifying drug resistance patterns and vaccine antigen variations.

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.
