  eLife Assessment

  This valuable study highlights how the diversity of the malaria parasite population diminishes following the initiation of effective control interventions but quickly rebounds as control wanes. It also demonstrates that the asymptomatic reservoir is unevenly distributed across host age groups. The data presented are convincing and the work shows how genetic studies could be used to monitor changes in disease transmission.

  eLife Assessment

  This study offers a valuable assessment of the impact of antibiotics on the human gut microbiota across diverse observational cohorts. The findings presented are convincing, despite the observational design and residual confounding that may still contribute to discrepancies between the cross-sectional and longitudinal data. The work is relevant for researchers and clinicians interested in antimicrobial resistance and the impact of antibiotics on the host.
