From Intact to Highly Degraded Mitochondrial Genes in <i>Trypanosoma vivax</i>: New Insights into Introduction from Africa and Adaptation to Exclusive Mechanical Transmission in South America

From Intact to Highly Degraded Mitochondrial Genes in <i>Trypanosoma vivax</i>: New Insights into Introduction from Africa and Adaptation to Exclusive Mechanical Transmission in South America

<i>Trypanosoma vivax</i> displays distinct mitochondrial genomes: intact in Africa and degraded in South America. This finding, formerly reported from four isolates, suggested an association between mitochondrial mutations and adaptation to exclusive mechanical transmission outside Afric...
