Abstract excerpt
Although all classical lines of evidence point to the fact that Trypanosoma cruzi has a predominantly clonal evolution, accumulating data show that some T. cruzi stocks are the result of hybridisation events. We evaluated whether chromosomal polymorphism would give evolutionary information on hybrid isolates. Twenty-three coding sequences were mapped on the chromosomes of nine parasite stocks, four of which are...
