Field Application of Polymerase Chain Reaction Diagnosis and Strain Typing of Trypanosoma cruzi in Bolivian Triatomines
1 Aug 1995
Abstract excerpt
A new approach for direct identification and characterization of Trypanosoma cruzi stocks in biological samples was tested for field applicability on an extensive sample of feces collected from triatomine vectors from four different species found in Bolivia. The first step of the technique is polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the hypervariable region of kinetoplast DNA minicircles of T. cruzi...
