Abstract excerpt
Trypanosoma cruzi presents considerable genetic and protein profile polymorphism among different parasite populations. In a previous work, our group indicated cysteine and metalloprotease activities as good markers for separating T. cruzi I (TCI) from T. cruzi II (TCII) isolates, with higher heterogeneity among TCII isolates. Here, we have investigated the expression level of surface cruzipain in 16 field...
