Trypanosoma cruzi: two genetic groups in Paraná state, Southern Brazil
Exp Parasitol.
2005 Sep.
Abstract
This paper presents the genetic characterization of Trypanosoma cruzi strains isolated from chronic chagasic patients, triatomines, and sylvatic reservoirs from Paraná state, Southern Brazil, using the RAPD and SSR-PCR techniques. It has shown the presence of both phylogenetic groups of T. cruzi (I and II), describing for the first time the existence of T. cruzi II in Paraná state.
