Detection of Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma rangeli Infection by Duplex PCR Assay Based on Telomeric Sequences
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
We used the species specificity and repetitious nature of subtelomeric kinetoplastida sequences to generate a duplex PCR assay for the simultaneous detection of Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma rangeli in experimentally and naturally infected triatomine (Reduviid) bugs and in infected human subjects. The assay was species specific and was capable of detecting 1/20th of T. cruzi and 1/4th of T. rangeli cell...
