Comparison of Trypanosoma cruzi Lineages and Levels of Parasitic DNA in Infected Mothers and Their Newborns
1 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
To better understand the factors involved in maternal-fetal transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi, we compared DNA levels-obtained by use of quantitative real-time PCR and parasitic genotypes determined by PCR amplification followed by hybridization-in Bolivian mothers and their congenitally infected newborns. Mothers and their neonates displayed markedly different parasitic DNA levels, as most maternal estimated...
