Phylogeny of Trypanosomatidae and Bodonidae (Kinetoplastida) based on 18S rRNA: evidence for paraphyly of Trypanosoma and six other genera.
Phylogenetic analysis of 18S rRNA sequences from the families Trypanosomatidae and Bodonidae (Eugelenozoa: Kinetoplastida) was conducted using a variety of methods. Unlike previous analyses using unrooted trees and/or smaller numbers of sequences, the analysis did not support monophyly of the genus Trypanosoma, which includes the major human parasites T. cruzi (cause of Chagas' disease) and T. ...
متن کاملThe taxonomic position and evolutionary relationships of Trypanosoma rangeli.
This paper presents a re-evaluation of the taxonomic position and evolutionary relationships of Trypanosoma (Herpetosoma) rangeli based on the phylogenetic analysis of ssrRNA sequences of 64 Trypanosoma species and comparison of mini-exon sequences. All five isolates of T. rangeli grouped together in a clade containing Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanum) cruzi and a range of closely related trypanosom...
متن کاملVaccination with epimastigotes of different strains of Trypanosoma rangeli protects mice against Trypanosoma cruzi infection.
In our laboratory, we have developed a model of vaccination in mice with Trypanosoma rangeli, a non-pathogenic parasite that shares many antigens with Trypanosoma cruzi. The vaccinated mice were protected against infection with virulent T. cruzi. The goal of the present work was to study the protective activity of strains of T. rangeli of different origin, with the aim of analysing whether this...
متن کاملTrypanosoma (Herpetosoma) rangeli Tejera, 1920: an updated review.
Trypanosoma rangeli, a parasite generally considered non-pathogenic for man, is the second species of human trypanosome to be reported from the New World. The geographical distribution of T. rangeli often overlaps with that of T. cruzi, the same vertebrate and invertebrate hosts being infected. Their differentiation thus becomes of real, practical importance, particularly as they share approxim...
متن کاملA simplified method for sample collection and DNA isolation for polymerase chain reaction detection of Trypanosoma rangeli and Trypanosoma cruzi in triatomine vectors.
Due to the overlapping distribution of Trypanosoma rangeli and T. cruzi in Central and South America, sharing several reservoirs and triatomine vectors, we herein describe a simple method to collect triatomine feces and hemolymph in filter paper for further detection and specific characterization of these two trypanosomes. Experimentally infected triatomines feces and hemolymph were collected i...
