New insights into Trypanosoma cruzi genetic diversity, and its influence on parasite biology and clinical outcomes
Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, remains a serious public health problem worldwide. The parasite was subdivided into six distinct genetic groups, called “discrete typing units” (DTUs), from TcI to TcVI. Several studies have indicated that the heterogeneity of T. cruzi species directly af...
