The evolution of Trypanosoma cruzi: the 'bat seeding' hypothesis.

Trends in parasitology - 1 Apr 2012

Hamilton Patrick B, Teixeira Marta M G, Stevens Jamie R

Abstract excerpt

Recent discussions on the evolution of Trypanosoma cruzi have been dominated by the southern super-continent hypothesis, whereby T. cruzi and related parasites evolved in isolation in the mammals of South America, Antarctica and Australia. Here, we consider recent molecular evidence suggesting that T. cruzi evolved from within a broader clade of bat trypanosomes, and that bat trypanosomes have successfully made...
