Comprehensive study of Trypanosoma cruzi genetic diversity from Triatominae vectors in the Southern United States: Geographic structuring, mitochondrial introgression, and multiclonality

2026-08-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, is subdivided into distinct genetic groups known as Discrete Typing Units (DTUs), each with distinct genetic traits that influence epidemiology and transmission dynamics. Several triatomine species serve as potential vectors of T. cruzi in the United States. However, despite the growing number of Chagas disease cases in the country, li...
