Abstract excerpt
A Trypanosoma brucei brucei clone from West Africa was crossed with another T. b. brucei clone from the East African kiboko group. This group is defined by characteristic isoenzyme patterns and kinetoplast DNA maxicircle polymorphisms, and is associated with a wild animal-tsetse transmission cycle. Three types of clone were isolated from the cross, 2 of which were hybrid. The hybrids were heterozygotic at 7 loci...
