Genetic exchange and emergence of novel strains in directly transmitted trypanosomatids.

Infection, genetics and evolution : journal of molecular epidemiology and evolutionary genetics in infectious diseases - 1 Apr 2011

Abstract excerpt

The breeding structure of protozoan infections, i.e. whether and how frequently parasites exchange genes ("sexual reproduction"), is a crucially important parameter for many important questions; it also matters for how new virulent strains might emerge. Whether protozoan parasites are clonal or sexual is therefore a hotly debated issue. For trypanosomatids, few experimental tests of breeding structure exist to...
