Abstract:
Orthogonal-field-altemation gel electrophoresis and DNA blot
hybridizations have been used to investigate the genomic
relationships among trypanosome clones of subgenus
Nannomonas. The results indicate that Trypanosoma
(Nannomonas) congolense com prises at least two distinct groups of
parasites that differ in both molecular karyotype and repetitive
DNA sequences. A description of these two groups and their
distinction from Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) simiae is presented.
