Congenital co-infection with different Trypanosoma cruzi lineages
Congenital-co-infection-with-different-rypanosoma-cruzi-lineages.pdf (234.4Kb)Abstract
Variability of mixed Trypanosoma cruzi congenital infection in Chile in twenty one congenital samples of Chagas
disease is reported. Recognition of infecting strains was performed by minicircle hybridization tests. Seven
newborns with double infection were found. Trypanosoma cruzi TcII and TcV lineages were the most frequent
in single and mixed infections. With these results we pretend to understand the epidemiological significance
of the T. cruzi lineages forwhich the placenta does not seemto represent an actual barrier in congenital infections.
