Molecular characterization of the hexose transporter gene in benznidazole resistant and susceptible populations of <it>Trypanosoma cruzi</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Hexose transporters (HT) are membrane proteins involved in the uptake of energy-supplying glucose and other hexoses into the cell. Previous studies employing the Differential Display technique have shown that the transcription level...
