Differential distribution of genes encoding the virulence factor trans-sialidase along Trypanosoma cruzi Discrete typing units.
Trypanosoma cruzi the agent of Chagas disease is a monophyletic but heterogeneous group conformed by several Discrete Typing Units (DTUs) named TcI to TcVI characterized by genetic markers. The trans-sialidase (TS) is a virulence factor involved in cell invasion and pathogenesis that is differential...
