| molecular characterisation of trypanosoma rangeli strains isolated from rhodnius ecuadoriensis in peru, r. colombiensis in colombia and r. pallescens in panama, supports a co-evolutionary association between parasites and vectors. | we present data on the molecular characterisation of strains of trypanosoma rangeli isolated from naturally infected rhodnius ecuadoriensis in peru, from rhodnius colombiensis, rhodnius pallescens and rhodnius prolixus in colombia, and from rhodnius pallescens in panama. strain characterisation involved a duplex pcr with s35/s36/kp1l primers. mini-exon gene analysis was also carried out using trint-1/trint-2 oligonucleotides. kdna and mini-exon amplification indicated dimorphism within both dna ... | 2005 | 15639744 |
