Genetic diversity and population structure of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis in the Peruvian jungle. by Maxy B De Los Santos, Ivonne Melissa Ramírez, Jorge E Rodríguez, Peter Beerli, Hugo O Valdivia

“…Migration analysis suggested a colonization event between geographical areas of distribution. Although no human migration was observed at the time of sampling, earlier displacement of humans, reservoirs, or vectors could have been responsible for the parasite spread in both regions.…”

The genetics of blood pressure regulation and its target organs from association studies in 342,415 individuals by Ehret, G, McCarthy, M, Ferreira, T, Farrall, M, Goel, A, Watkins, H, Groves, C, Rayner, N

“…Importantly, the 66 index SNPs combined in a risk score showed comparable effects in 64,421 individuals of non-European descent (South-Asian, East-Asian and African), confirming that these are ancestral physiological effects that arose prior to human migration out of Africa. The 66-SNP BP risk score was significantly associated with target-organ damage in multiple tissues, with minor effects in the kidney. …”

Limited differentiation among Plasmodium vivax populations from the northwest and to the south Pacific Coast of Colombia: A malaria corridor? by M Andreína Pacheco, Kristan A Schneider, Nora Céspedes, Sócrates Herrera, Myriam Arévalo-Herrera, Ananias A Escalante

“…BACKGROUND:Malaria remains endemic in several countries of South America with low to moderate transmission intensity. Regional human migration through underserved endemic areas may be responsible for significant parasite dispersion making the disease resilient to interventions. …”

Culture creates genetic structure in the Caucasus: Autosomal, mitochondrial, and Y-chromosomal variation in Daghestan by Harpending Henry C, Bulayeva Kazima, Watkins W Scott, Marchani Elizabeth E, Jorde Lynn B

“…<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Near the junction of three major continents, the Caucasus region has been an important thoroughfare for human migration. While the Caucasus Mountains have diverted human traffic to the few lowland regions that provide a gateway from north to south between the Caspian and Black Seas, highland populations have been isolated by their remote geographic location and their practice of patrilocal endogamy. …”

Geographic characteristics of HTLV-1 molecular subgroups and genetic substitutions in East Asia: Insights from complete genome sequencing of HTLV-1 strains isolated in Taiwan and J... by Satoshi Nozuma, Akiko Yoshimura, Shun-Chung Pai, Hung-Jen Chen, Eiji Matsuura, Masakazu Tanaka, Daisuke Kodama, Mika Dozono, Toshio Matsuzaki, Hiroshi Takashima, Ya-Chien Yang, Ryuji Kubota

“…In this study, we determined the complete genome sequences of HTLV-1 strains isolated from Taiwan and Japan and investigated the geographic characteristics of molecular subgroups and substitution mutations to understand the spread of HTLV-1 and its correlation with human migration.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>The complete genome sequences of 26 HTLV-1 isolates from Taiwan were determined using next-generation sequencing and were compared with those of 211 isolates from Japan in terms of subgroup and genetic mutations. …”
