The first genome assemblies of blackflies (genus Simulium): exploring genomic diversity across Africa

2026-07-20

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Blackflies in the genus <italic>Simulium</italic> are the sole vectors of <italic>Onchocerca volvulus</italic> , the human filarial parasite responsible for onchocerciasis (river blindness), a neglected tropical disease endemic to sub-Saharan Africa, the Americas, and Yemen. Species within this genus exhibit significant biological variation, including differences in host and ecolo...
