A novel locus of resistance to severe malaria in a region of ancient balancing selection. [PDF]
, 2015 The high prevalence of sickle haemoglobin in Africa shows that malaria has been a major force for human evolutionary selection, but surprisingly few other polymorphisms have been proven to confer resistance to malaria in large epidemiological studies. To

Scientific Reports, 2023 Current surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is mostly based on testing indicator bacteria using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) panels. Metagenomics has the potential to identify all known antimicrobial resistant genes (ARGs) in complex

Long-Term Temporal Stability of the Resistome in Sewage from Copenhagen
mSystems, 2020 Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to global health, and it is crucial to understand the epidemiological aspects in order to predict the emergence and propagation of AMR genes.

Epidemiologic and Genomic Reidentification of Yaws, Liberia [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021 We confirmed endemicity and autochthonous transmission of yaws in Liberia after a population-based, community-led burden estimation (56,825 participants). Serologically confirmed yaws was rare and focal at population level (24 cases; 2.6 [95% CI 1.4-3.9] cases/10,000 population) with similar clinical epidemiology to other endemic countries in West ...
