Multiple Mitochondrial Introgression Events and Heteroplasmy in Trypanosoma cruzi Revealed by Maxicircle MLST and Next Generation Sequencing

Multiple Mitochondrial Introgression Events and Heteroplasmy in Trypanosoma cruzi Revealed by Maxicircle MLST and Next Generation Sequencing

Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is an important public health problem in Latin America. While molecular techniques can differentiate the major T. cruzi genetic lineages, few have sufficient resolution to describe diversity among closely related strains. The online...
