Abstract excerpt
Genetic exchange in Trypanosoma brucei spp. can occur when two strains are cotransmitted through the tsetse fly vector, but it is non-obligatory and a comparatively rare event. To increase recovery of hybrids, we crossed drug resistant parental strains and selected hybrids by double drug resistance [15]. Analysis of 29 hybrid clones from five separate genetic exchange events shows independent segregation of...
