A comparison of the isoenzymes of Trypanosoma (Duttonella) vivax isolates from East and West Africa.
The genetic diversity in 13 stocks and clones of Trypanosoma vivax from East and West Africa was compared by isoenzyme analysis. The Ugandan and West African stocks and clones showed a very high degree of genetic similarity to each other but they differed from the Kenyan stocks and clones. Two haemorrhagic stocks, IL 2337 (Galana, Kenya) and IL 3067 (Bamburi, Kenya), showed a high degree of similarity in enzyme banding patterns in electrophoresed preparations. One of the Kenyan stocks, M1D 627, differed in most of its enzyme banding patterns from all the other stocks and clones used.
