Synthesising environmental, epidemiological, and genetic data to assist decision making for onchocerciasis elimination

2023-02-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Population genetics is crucial for understanding the transmission dynamics of diseases like onchocerciasis. Landscape genetics identifies the ecological features that impact genetic variation between sampling sites. Here, we have used a landscape genetics framework to understand the relationship between environmental features and gene flow of the filarial parasite Onchocerca volvulus and of its...
