Genomic analyses of African Trypanozoon strains to assess evolutionary relationships and identify markers for strain identification.
African trypanosomes of the sub-genus Trypanozoon) are eukaryotic parasitesthat cause disease in either humans or livestock. The development of genomic resources can be of great use to those interested in studying and controlling the spread of these trypanosomes. Here we present a large comparative...
