Phylogenetics and genomic variation of Hepatocystis isolated from shotgun sequencing of wild primate hosts.

PLoS pathogens - 1 Jun 2025

Abstract excerpt

Hepatocystis are apicomplexan parasites nested within the Plasmodium genus that infect primates and other vertebrates, yet few isolates have been genetically characterized. Using taxonomic classification and mapping characteristics, we searched for Hepatocystis infections within publicly available, blood-derived whole genome sequence (WGS) data from 326 wild non-human primates (NHPs) in 17 genera. We identified...
