Abstract excerpt
The current intraspecific nomenclature in Trypanosoma cruzi describes two major lineages, named T. cruzi I and T. cruzi II, and five sublineages within T. cruzi II, named IIa, IIb, IIc, IId and IIe. The polymorphism of minicircle hypervariable regions (mHVRs) of T. cruzi has been used in many studies for the molecular characterization of parasite populations directly from biological samples. However, the...
