Two hybridization events define the population structure of Trypanosoma cruzi.

Genetics - 1 Oct 2005

Westenberger Scott J, Barnabé Christian, Campbell David A, Sturm Nancy R

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation in Trypanosoma cruzi is likely a key determinant in transmission and pathogenesis of Chagas disease. We have examined nine loci as markers for the extant T. cruzi strains. Four distinct alleles were found for each locus, corresponding to the sequence classes present in the homozygous discrete typing units (DTUs) I, IIa, IIb, and IIc. The alleles in DTUs IIa and IIc showed a spectrum of...
