Recent, independent and anthropogenic origins of Trypanosoma cruzi hybrids.

PLoS neglected tropical diseases - 1 Oct 2011

Abstract excerpt

The single celled eukaryote Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite transmitted by numerous species of triatomine bug in the Americas, causes Chagas disease in humans. T. cruzi generally reproduces asexually and appears to have a clonal population structure. However, two of the six major circulating genetic lineages, TcV and TcVI, are TcII-TcIII inter-lineage hybrids that are frequently isolated from humans in regions...
