Abstract excerpt
A contingency table approach was used to explore the influence of location, host species and time on the genetic composition of a Trypanosoma brucei population in Lambwe Valley, Kenya. Significant differences in zymodeme frequencies were noticed over comparatively short geographical distances suggesting that transmission of T. brucei is somewhat localized. A significant association was observed between zymodeme...
