Infections with Trypanosoma spp. have been associated with poor health and decreased survival of koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus), particularly in the presence of concurrent pathogens such as Chlamydia
We clarified the genetic diversity of Trypanosoma spp. within the Kafue ecosystem, using PCR targeting the internal transcribed spacer 1 and the cathepsin L-like cysteine protease (CatL) sequences. Th
Cytochrome b parasite lineage, tentative parasite species names, GenBank accession numbers and the number of host species infected by parasite lineage in the current study.
Sequence alignement of nuclear ribosomal (18S and 28S) and mitochondrial ribosomal (12S) and protein (COI) genes of platyhelminth parasites (Monogenea - Polyopisthocotylea - Polystomatidae)
