Trypanosoma Cruz 1 : Measurement of Dna Quantity in Different Isoenzymic Strains
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on the genetic analysis of Trypanosoma cruz¡ zymograms (Tibayrenc et al., 1981a, 1981b) we proposed the hypothesis of diploidy for this parasite. Lanar et a/. (1981) arrived at the same conclusion by a study of Trypanosoma cruz¡ DNA. Nevertheless, our observations were principally based on one of the main Bolivian isoenzymic strains, which showed numerous heterozygous loci (strain 2). The other main strain (strain 1) was almost totally homozygote. The quantity of DNA in both strains was compared in order to verify the constancy of ploidy within the T. cruz¡ com pl ex.

Biological, biochemical and molecular features of Trypanosoma cruzi strains isolated from patients infected through oral transmission during a 2005 outbreak in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil: its correspondence with the new T. cruzi Taxonomy Consensus (2009).
We examined strains of Trypanosoma cruzi isolated from patients with acute Chagas disease that had been acquired by oral transmission in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil (2005) and two isolates that had been obtained from a marsupial (Didelphis aurita) and a vector (Triatoma tibiamaculata). These strains were characterised through their biological behaviour and isoenzymic profiles and genoty...
متن کاملCharacterization of subpopulations (clones and subclones) of the 21 SF strain of Trypanosoma cruzi after long lasting maintenance in the laboratory.
Several studies have shown a clonal structure of Trypanosoma cruzi and its possible correlation with the behavioral heterogeneity of the parasite strains. In the present study, the 21 SF strain, that have been maintained in laboratory by successive passages in mice, for more than 15 years, showing a stability of biological and isoenzymic characteristics has been cloned, with the objective of es...
متن کاملTrypanosoma cruzi: a pharmacological comparison of some Bolivian isoenzymic strains.
The drug susceptibility of 3 isoenzymic strains of Trypanosoma cruzi was studied. Two drugs (SQ 18, 506 and Ro 7-1051) and 6 stocks were used. The drug test was carried out on epimastigote cultures. Significant susceptibility differences were found for Ro 7-1051 between the 3 strains. For SQ 18, 506, there were differences between strains 1 and 2, and 2 and 3, but no differences between 1 and 3...

Molecular characterization of one stable strain of Trypanosoma cruzi, the 21 SF, representative of the pattern of strains isolated from the endemic area of São Felipe, State of Bahia, Brazil, maintained for 15 years in laboratory by serial passages in mice and classified as biodeme Type II and zymodeme 2 has been investigated. The kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) of parental strain, 5 clones and 14 subcl...
متن کاملRelationship between biological behaviour and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA profiles of Trypanosoma cruzi strains.
Once known some biological characteristics of six Trypanosoma cruzi strains, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was made. Cluster analysis by UPGMA (unweighted pair group method analysis) was then applied both to biological parameters and RAPD profiles. Inspection of the UPGMA phenograms indicates identical clusters, so supporting that usefulness of biological parameters to char...
