Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic expression of trans-sialidase (TS) by Trypanosoma cruzi (Silvio strain) is restricted to a subpopulation (20-30%) of broad trypomastigotes (TS+ parasites), while the larger subpopulation of slender trypomastigotes lacks TS expression (TS- parasites). Rhodnius prolixus nymphs were infec...
