Trypanosoma brucei: identification of trypanosomes with genotypic similarity to human infective isolates in tsetse isolated from a region free of human sleeping sickness.

Abstract excerpt

In previous work, we have developed a molecular method that defines genotypes of Trypanosoma brucei and allows distinction of the human-infective subspecies T. b. rhodesiense from the non-human-infective T. b. brucei without recourse to measurement of resistance to lysis by human serum. Using this approach, we are also able to determine the geographical range of specific genotypes associated with a particular...
