Impact of number of isoenzyme loci on the robustness of intraspecific phylogenies using multilocus enzyme electrophoresis: consequences for typing of Trypanosoma cruzi.

Abstract excerpt

Thirty-one stocks of Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, representative of the genetic variability of the 2 principal lineages, that subdivide T. cruzi, were selected on the basis of previous multilocus enzyme electrophoresis analysis using 21 loci. Analyses were performed with lower numbers of loci to explore the impact of the number of loci on the robustness of the phylogenies obtained, and to...
