Abstract excerpt
Chilean T. cruzi populations from different endemic areas and transmission cycles were characterized at several biochemical levels, to mention: hybridization with kinetoplast DNA probes, molecular karyotype, isoenzyme studies and kinetoplast DNA restriction fragment length polymorphism. Furthermore, an immunological approach with immune sera from Balb/c infected mice with different T. cruzi populations was used...
