| trypanosoma rangeli isolates of bats from central brazil: genotyping and phylogenetic analysis enable description of a new lineage using spliced-leader gene sequences. | trypanosoma rangeli infects several mammalian orders but has never confidently been described in chiroptera, which are commonly parasitized by many trypanosome species. here, we described trypanosomes from bats captured in central brazil identified as t. rangeli, t. dionisii, t. cruzimarinkellei and t. cruzi. two isolates, tra643 from platyrrhinus lineatus and tra1719 from artibeus planirostris were identified as t. rangeli by morphological, biological and molecular methods, and confirmed by phy ... | 2009 | 19063857 |
