Molecular Markers for the Phylogenetic Reconstruction of <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>: A Quantitative Review by David Ramírez-Delgado, Carlos Alberto Flores-López

“…Although the mini-exon gene is by far the locus that has been most widely used, it is not the most appropriate marker for the typification of <i>T. cruzi</i> based on the construction of a resolved phylogenetic tree. Overall, the mitochondrial COII-NDI locus stands out as the best molecular marker for this purpose, followed by the Cytochrome b and the Lathosterol oxidase genes.…”
