Abstract excerpt
Chagas disease represents a serious problem in public health. This zoonotic pathology is caused by the kinetoplastid Trypanosoma cruzi which displays a high genetic diversity falling into six Discrete Typing Units (TcI-TcVI). In Colombia, the prevalent DTU is TcI with findings of TcII, TcIII and TcIV in low proportions. The aim of this work was to observe the genetic variability within TcI using a multilocus...
