Abstract excerpt

Isolates of Trypanosoma cruzi from human patients, domestic and sylvatic animals and vector insects were obtained in different areas of Argentina. Electrophoretic patterns of enzymes from extracts of 95 isolates were analysed. On the basis of zymograms providing information on 10 loci, 12 zymodem...
