Evidence and importance of genetic exchange among field populations of Trypanosoma cruzi.

Acta tropica - 1 Nov 2015

Messenger Louisa A, Miles Michael A

Abstract excerpt

Many eukaryotic pathogenic microorganisms that were previously assumed to propagate clonally have retained cryptic sexual cycles. The principal reproductive mode of Trypanosoma cruzi, the aetiological agent of Chagas disease, remains a controversial topic. Despite the existence of two recent natural hybrid lineages, a pervasive view is that recombination has been restrained at an evolutionary scale and is of...
