Abstract excerpt
The detection of two widespread Trypanosoma cruzi clonal genotypes (20 and 39) in feces of Bolivian specimens of the vector Triatoma infestans was performed by a combination of polymerase chain reaction and clone-specific DNA hybridization. The hybridization pattern of 186 PCR positive samples cf T. infestans feces collected in two Bolivian departments identified clone 20 in 74.2% and clone 39 in 63.4% of the...
