Genetic variability and infective ability of the rabbit trypanosome, Trypanosoma nabiasi Railliet 1895, in southern Spain
文摘
Trypanosoma nabiasi was detected and isolated in culture from all the rabbit organs. Amastigotes were obtained in macrophages from infective cultured epimastigotes. Trypomastigotes appeared in blood of a rabbit inoculated with cultured epimastigotes. Using PCR ITS-1, four haplotypes within two lineages were identified. In phylogenetic trees, T. nabiasi is in the same clade as rodent trypanosomes.
