Sample acquisition for this purpose is troublesome, with the majority of malaria-infected individuals living in rural areas, away from main infrastructure and the electrical grid. The aim of this study was to describe a low-tech procedure to sample P. falciparum specimens for direct whole genome sequencing (WGS), without use of electricity and cold-chain. Venous blood samples were collected from malaria patients in Bandim, Guinea-Bissau and leukocyte-depleted using Plasmodipur filters, the enriched parasite sample was spotted on Whatman paper and dried. The samples were stored at ambient temperatures and subsequently used for DNA-extraction. Ratios of parasite:human content of the extracted DNA was assessed by qPCR, and five samples with varying parasitaemia, were sequenced. Sequencing data were us...

SNP analysis was performed for all five samples for pfdhfr, pfmdr1, pfcrt, pfdhps and pfk13. The data confirmed previously performed SNP analysis for the samples, performed through targeted sequencing [21]. Grey fields indicate mutations found in the samples. Table S1B. Coverage of the genes analysed for polymorphisms in Additional file 1: Table S1A are listed for each sample.

He is best known for his love poetry and his novel, Paris Peasant. Educated as a physician, Aragon joined the army medical corps and met André Breton there. The two joined Dada in 1919 and became founding members of the surrealist movement along with Philippe Soupault in 1924. Aragon’s first two poetry collections were highly surrealist in style, but he was criticized by the group after he published Le Paysan de Paris [Paris Peasant], a novel and dialectical meditation on areas of Paris about to be destroyed by modernization. This book deeply influenced the German philosopher Walter Benjamin. Soon after he joined the French Communist Party in 1927, Aragon was ejected from the surrealist movement.

In her polemical long essay of 1938, Three Guineas, Woolf energetically denounces antisemitism and relates it to the gender discrimination she experienced in her own life. Yet her short story "The Duchess and the Jeweller," composed during an interval between revisions of Three Guineas, displays embarrassingly crude stereotypes about Jews. Woolf's private life further complicates the picture. In her diaries, affection for her husband, Leonard Woolf, alternates with distaste for his middle-class family and his sister Flora's "Jewish laugh" (Schroder, 303). How should we understand this contradiction between the public figure who spoke out early against Nazi antisemitism, and the novelist and private diarist who stoops to easy stereotypes, without succumbing to post-1945 historical hindsight? A novel angle of vision will shed new light: the art created by her great-aunt, Julia ...
