Abstract excerpt
To better understand the epidemiology of sleeping sickness in the Central African sub-region, notably the heterogeneity of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) foci, the mobile genetic element PCR (MGE-PCR) technique was used to genotype Trypanosoma brucei s.l. (T. brucei s.l.) isolates from this sub-region. Using a single primer REV B, which detects positional variation of the mobile genetic element RIME, via...
