MOLECULAR AND MORPHOLOGICAL STUDIES OF BRAZILIANTRYPANOSOMA EVANSISTOCKS: THE TOTAL ABSENCE OF KDNA IN TRYPANOSOMES FROM BOTH LABORATORY STOCKS AND NATURALLY INFECTED DOMESTIC AND WILD MAMMALS

Abstract excerpt

The kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) minicircle molecules of 14 Brazilian stocks of Trypanosoma evansi were studied by morphological approaches (Giemsa and 4'-6'-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining and transmission electron microscopy) and molecular approaches (probing with an oligonucleotide complementary to the minicircle origin of replication and polymerase chain reaction amplification of a minicircle sequence).
