Abstract
T. (S.) dionisii, a microchiropteran parasite has 2 morphological forms of trypomastigote. Dimorphism and an extra [satellite] DNA component could have resulted from the presence of a mixed population of 2 spp. or subspecies in the strain (P3) studied. This possibility was excluded by examination of a clone derived in vitro from a single organism of this strain; both forms of trypomastigote were produced and the buoyant densities of the satellite DNA were identical.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
