摘要: Trypanosoma cruzi is genetically classified into at least two major lineages named T. I (also Tc I) and II IIb). associated with Chagas' disease in the southern cone of South America, while only one so far identified chagasic patients Central America northern part America. Herein we IIb directly 9.9% blood chronic Colombia. This finding establishes that this region, are pathology have implications morbidity epidemiology disease.
