Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Trypanosoma cruzi shows an exuberant genetic diversity. Currently, seven phylogenetic lineages, called discrete typing units (DTUs), are recognised: TcI-TcVI and Tcbat. Despite advances in studies on T. cruzi and its populations, there is no consensus regarding its heterogeneity. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to perform molecular characterisation of T. cruzi strains, isolated in the state of São Paulo,...
