Trypanosoma cruzi genetic diversity: Something new for something known about Chagas disease manifestations, serodiagnosis and drug sensitivity
B Zingales - Acta tropica, 2018 - Elsevier
The genetic diversity of Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan agent of Chagas disease, is
widely recognized. At present, T. cruzi is partitioned into seven discrete typing units (DTUs) …
