Molecular taxonomic characterisation of Ancylostoma spp. and Strongyloides spp. in three protected areas in Ghana

Background: across humans, dogs, and nonhuman primates (NHPs) in three different study areas located in three ecological zones in Ghana, where humans live in close contact with domestic dogs and free-ranging nonhuman primates, creating opportunities for cross-species parasite exchange. Methods: -1 markers. Species identities and genetic relationships were explored using Neighbour-joining and Maximum-likelihood phylogenies in MEGA 12 and a Median-joining haplotype network in POpART. Results: . Conclusions: spp. infected hosts was very small. Our results reinforce the need for including animals that live in close proximity to humans in STH studies and control considerations, following a One Health approach.
