Abstract excerpt
For the purpose of investigating the evolutionary relationships among strains of the human parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, we have determined the nucleotide sequence, in 16 T. cruzi stocks, of a DNA fragment having approximately 1030 nucleotides in length. Phylogenetic analyses show the presence of at least three major groups of T. cruzi strains, a result that contradicts previous phylogenetic inferences based on...
