Standley, C. J., Goodacre, S. L., Wade, C. M., & Stothard, J. R. (2014). The population genetic structure of Biomphalaria choanomphala in Lake Victoria, East Africa: implications for schistosomiasis transmission. Parasites and Vectors, 7(1), Article 524. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-014-0524-4

Background: The freshwater snail Biomphalaria acts as the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni, a globally important human parasite. Understanding the population structure of intermediate host species can elucidate transmission dynamics and assis...

Molecular characterization of the malaria vector Anopheles barbirostris van der Wulp in Sri Lanka (2014)
Journal Article
Gajapathy, K., Jude, P. J., Goodacre, S., Peiris, L. B., Ramasamy, R., & Surendran, S. N. (2014). Molecular characterization of the malaria vector Anopheles barbirostris van der Wulp in Sri Lanka. Parasites and Vectors, 7(1), Article 348. https://doi.org/10.1186/1756-3305-7-348

Background: Anopheles barbirostris is a vector of malaria in Sri Lanka. The taxon exists as a species complex in the Southeast Asian region. Previous studies using molecular markers suggest that there are more than 4 distinct clades within the An. ba...
