  "summary": "Multilocus sequence typing anchors molecular epidemiology, but traditional frameworks require centrally curated allele catalogues. For emerging and uncultivable eukaryotic parasites, maintaining these databases is impractical, leaving surveillance reliant on fragmented, assay-specific scripts. PyEuk eliminates this bottleneck by providing an open, catalogue-free suite that calls microhaplotypes…",
