Up to 40% of the world's population is at risk for Plasmodium vivax malaria, a disease that imposes a major public health and economic burden on endemic countries. Because P. vivax produces latent liver forms, eradication of P. vivax malaria is more

Short-tandem-repeat (SSR) or microsatellite polymorphisms are some of the most extensively employed genetic markers in contemporary linkage mapping studies. To date, only a limited number of microsatellites have been isolated in the gray, short-taile

Genetic variation in Trypanosoma cruzi is likely a key determinant in transmission and pathogenesis of Chagas disease. We have examined nine loci as markers for the extant T. cruzi strains. Four distinct alleles were found for each locus, correspondi

The spliced leader RNA gene (SL RNA) repeat is present in large multicopy arrays and has been used as a marker for the diversity of kinetoplastid protozoans. Intra-array variation could affect conclusions made using a randomly isolated repeat as a ma

As a consequence of infection by Trypanosoma cruzi, 30% of victims may develop chronic Chagas disease, which presents a spectrum of pathology including cardiomyopathy, megacolon and megaesophagus. The outcome of infection in a particular individual i

We have determined the sequences of 5S rRNA and spliced leader (SL) RNA genes, and adjacent intergenic regions for representatives of all known trypanosomatid genera parasitizing insects. The genetic loci have been analyzed separately as well as by a

A role for parasite genetic variability in the spectrum of Chagas disease is emerging but not yet evident, in part due to an incomplete understanding of the population structure of Trypanosoma cruzi. To investigate further the observed genotypic vari

Twenty-six polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated from (AC) n and (AG) n microsatellite-enhanced genomic libraries of the gray, short-tailed opossum Monodelphis domestica . All 26 loci showed high allelic diversity, with allele numbers rang

Plasmodium vivax causes 25–40% of malaria cases worldwide, yet research on this human malaria parasite has been neglected. Nevertheless, the recent publication of the P. vivax reference genome now allows genomics and systems biology approaches to b

It's a Knockout The malaria parasite is one of the most important pathogens of humans. Increasing drug-resistance is an imminent public health disaster, and we urgently need to find new drugs. The recently acquired malarial genomes provide a plethora
