Abstract excerpt
Natural populations of Trypanosoma cruzi are structured into five genetic lineages, T. cruzi I and T. cruzi II a to e, as the result of clonal evolution with rare genetic recombination events. To explore more in depth these phenomenons, a multigene sequencing approach was used, for the first time in the case of T. cruzi. Three nuclear loci and a maxicircle locus were sequenced on 18 T. cruzi stocks. Sequences...
