| nd(27)† | EP 255¶ |
Zymodeme and isoenzyme type as in refs. 1 and 3, respectively; lineages, refs. 8 and 10. Sequences were also obtained from the bat trypanosomes T. cruzi marinkellei 593 (B3) and T. vespertilionis (N6).
*
Only COII-ND1 sequenced.
†
The MLEE profiles of SC13 and EP 255 do not fit any isoenzyme type of ref. 3, but the profile of EP 255 is close to type 27 [nd(27)].
‡
COII-ND1 could not be fully amplified.
§
Clone CL Brener, the reference strain for the T. cruzi genome project.
¶
The TR sequence could not be obtained.
