摘要：Objective:To classify 21 new isolates of Trypanosoma cruai(***) according to the Discrete Typing Unit(DTU) which they belong to,as well as tune up a new pair of primers designed to detect the parasite in biological ***:Strains were isolated,DNA extracted,and classified by using three Polymerase Chain Reactions(PCR).Subsequently this DNA was used along with other isolates of various biological samples,for a new PCR using primers ***,the amplified fragments were ***:It was observed the predominance of DTU i in Colombia,as well as the specificity of our primers for detection of ***,while no band was obtained when other species were ***:This work reveals the genetic variability of 21 new isolates of *** in *** primers confirmed their specificity for detecting the presence of ***.
