Abstract excerpt
Twenty Trypanosoma cruzi stocks attributed to the 19/20, 32, and 39 major clones (Tibayrenc et al. 1986) were used to infect experimentally third instar larvae of Triatoma infestans. Three variables were considered: (i) percentage of infected insects; (ii) number of flagellates per insect (NFI); and (iii) percentage of metacyclic trypomastigotes per insect.
