Abstract excerpt
The karyotype of Trypanosoma cruzi was studied by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) in conditions that allowed 20-25 chromosome bands to be detected. However, several of these bands were present in non-equimolar amounts, suggesting that the total chromosome number is considerably higher. The patterns obtained with the different cloned and uncloned strains were unique, suggesting that the karyotype of T....
