Trypanosoma cruzi has been historically classified as a species with preponderant clonal evolution (PCE). However, with the advent of highly polymorphic markers and studies at geographically reduced scales, the PCE in T. cruzi was challenged. In fact, some studies have suggested that recombination in T. cruzi lineage I (TcI) is much more frequent than previously believed. Further analyses of TcI populations from...
