PCR-based screening and lineage identification of<i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>directly from faecal samples of triatomine bugs from northwestern Argentina
15 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
This study applied improved DNA extraction and polymerase chain reaction strategies for screening and identification of Trypanosoma cruzi lineages directly from faeces of triatomines collected in a well-defined rural area in northwestern Argentina. Amplification of the variable regions of the kinetoplastid minicircle genome (kDNA-PCR) was performed in faecal lysates from 33 microscope (MO)-positive and 93...
