Basic Molecular Evolution Workshop—A trans-African virtual training course. “Virtual Workshops”: Is Africa ready to embrace the concept? by Ommeh, S., Budd, A., Ngara, M.V., Njaci, I., Villiers, Etienne P. de

“…One important set of applications is in the epidemiology of diseases important in Africa. These studies may focus on the evolution of the pathogens themselves, including viruses (such as HIV 1), bacteria (such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis2) and eukaryotes (such as Plasmodium falciparum3, one of the causative agents of malaria) – but also the evolution of the vectors responsible for transmitting many important diseases (such as Glossina fuscipes fuscipes4, tsetse flies that are vectors of sleeping sickness, or Anopheles mosquitoes, important vectors of malaria 5). …”
