Abstract excerpt
Trypanosoma cruzi isolates can be divided into two major phylogenetic lineages-T. cruzi I and T. cruzi II. The population structure is predominantly clonal, with sexuality having no or limited influence on the evolution of the parasite. Isoenzymes and nuclear gene sequences have provided evidence that some T. cruzi strains are hybrids. Previous work of our group has shown that the putative hybrid strains...
