Experimental microevolution of <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> reveals hybridization and clonal mechanisms driving rapid diversification of genome sequence and structure

2021-10-24

Abstract excerpt

Protozoa and fungi are known to have extraordinarily diverse mechanisms of genetic exchange. However, the presence and epidemiological relevance of genetic exchange in Trypanosoma cruzi , the agent of Chagas disease, has been controversial and debated for many years. Field studies have identified both predominantly clonal and sexually recombining natural populations. Two of six natural T. cruzi lineages (TcV and...
