Abstract excerpt
The internal transcribed spacers (ITS) flanking the 5.8S subunit of the ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) of Trypanosoma rangeli strains isolated from distinct geographical regions and hosts were studied. The results revealed the sequence variability of the ITS spacers showing the presence of microsatellite repeats and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), which were also observed within the 5.8S rDNA sequence. ITS-2...
