Abstract excerpt

Bats are recognized as key reservoir hosts for a variety of trypanosomes, yet their full diversity and host associations remain underexplored in Africa. In this study, we investigated the diversity and phylogenetic relationships of trypanosomes infecting bats in Uganda and the Central African Republic (CAR) using molecular tools. A total of 22 distinct genotypes were identified, clustering into seven...
