Genetic variation among Trypanosoma cruzi populations.

The Journal of experimental zoology - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

The analysis of enzyme electrophoretic patterns in 141 extracts of Trypanosoma cruzi isolated from humans and domesticated and wild animals from the endemic zone of Chagas' disease in Argentina allowed their characterization into 12 different "isozymic strains" or zymodemes (Z1 to Z12). In humans, the parasites most frequently found belong to Z1 and Z12. These zymodemes differ significantly in pathogenic...
