Abstract excerpt
Trypanosoma cruzi populations are subdivided into natural clones that can exhibit considerable genetic differences. It has been proposed that T. cruzi clonal structure has a major impact on this parasite's biological properties. The present work aims at testing this hypothesis. Twenty-one stocks...
