Abstract excerpt
To further investigate the phylogeny of protozoa from the order Kinetoplastida we have sequenced the small subunit (SSU) and a portion of the large subunit (LSU) nuclear rRNA genes. The SSU and LSU sequences were determined from a lizard trypanosome, Trypanosoma scelopori and a bodonid, Rhynchobodo sp., and the LSU sequences were determined from an insect trypanosomatid, Crithidia oncopelti, and a bodonid,...
