Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas Disease, exhibits remarkable genetic diversity and is classified into different Discrete Typing Units (DTUs). Strain typing techniques are crucial for studying T. cruzi, because their DTUs have significant biological differences from one another. However, there is currently no methodological strategy for the direct typing of biological materials that...
