Abstract excerpt
30 Trypanosoma cruzi strains isolated from chronic chagasic patients were studied at the genotype level by RAPD with arbitrary primers and SSR-PCR analysis. The genetic distance of strains was measured by the percentage of unshared bands. The results showed that the strains isolated from chronic patients from different Chagas' disease endemic areas of Brazil constituted a broad group significantly more correlated...
