Abstract excerpt
Chagas disease is a tropical and systemic disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. This parasite has been divided into six Discrete Typing Units (DTU's) due to its high genetic diversity. T. cruzi I (TcI) is the most prevalent DTU in Colombia and recently associated to cardiomyopathies. The aim of this study was to unravel the genetic variability among a set of 70 cell-single TcI clones from different...
