Host–parasite interactions and the evolution of ploidy [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 Although the majority of animals and plants, including humans, are dominated by the diploid phase of their life cycle, extensive diversity in ploidy level exists among eukaryotes, with some groups being primarily haploid whereas others alternate between haploid and diploid phases.

Profiling the macrofilaricidal effects of flubendazole on adult female Brugia malayi using RNAseq
International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2016 The use of microfilaricidal drugs for the control of onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis (LF) necessitates prolonged yearly dosing. Prospects for elimination or eradication of these diseases would be enhanced by the availability of a macrofilaricidal
