Next-generation population genetics to inform the transmission of zoonotic canine soil transmitted helminths in the Asia Pacific
This project aims to ascertain the population genetics of Strongyloides stercoralis and Ancylostoma ceylanicum infecting humans and community dogs living in villages in Cambodia and the Solomon Islands. The findings will inform mathematical models of disease transmission.
