Molecular detection of intestinal helminths and protozoa among young children in Dosso Region, Niger
Aiemjoy K, Arzika A, Cook C, Lebas E, Pilotte N, Grant J, et al.
Gates Open Res
. 2020 Sep;
4:38.
PMID: 32923983
Eukaryotic parasites are significant contributors to childhood illness in Niger. While helminthiases have received national attention through mass deworming efforts, the epidemiology of intestinal protozoa in Niger remains underexamined. This...

Maasch J, Arzika A, Cook C, Lebas E, Pilotte N, Grant J, et al.
Am J Trop Med Hyg
. 2020 Jun;
103(3):1276-1282.
PMID: 32524959
Though bulk stool remains the gold standard specimen type for enteropathogen diagnosis, rectal swabs may offer comparable sensitivity with greater ease of collection for select pathogens. This study sought to...

PLoS One
. 2020 May;
15(5):e0232325.
PMID: 32357154
Background: Optimization of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based diagnostics requires the careful selection of molecular targets that are both highly repetitive and pathogen-specific. Advances in both next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and...

Benjamin-Chung J, Pilotte N, Ercumen A, Grant J, Maasch J, Gonzalez A, et al.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis
. 2020 Apr;
14(4):e0008087.
PMID: 32330127
There is growing interest in local elimination of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection in endemic settings. In such settings, highly sensitive diagnostics are needed to detect STH infection. We compared double-slide...

PMID: 31608116
The balance of expense and ease of use vs. specificity and sensitivity in diagnostic assays for helminth disease is an important consideration, with expense and ease often winning out in...

PLoS Negl Trop Dis
. 2017 Jul;
11(7):e0005734.
PMID: 28692668
Background: Molecular-based surveys have indicated that Ancylostoma ceylanicum, a zoonotic hookworm, is likely the second most prevalent hookworm species infecting humans in Asia. Most current PCR-based diagnostic options for the...

. 2016 May;
70(6):1322-33.
PMID: 27139503
A sequestered germline in Metazoa has been argued to be an obstacle to lateral gene transfer (LGT), though few studies have specifically assessed this claim. Here, we test the hypothesis...

PMID: 27027771
Background: The soil transmitted helminths are a group of parasitic worms responsible for extensive morbidity in many of the world's most economically depressed locations. With growing emphasis on disease mapping...
