Trypanosoma cruzi Ikiakarora (TcIII) Draft Genome Sequence

Microbiol Resour Announc. 2020 Jul 2;9(27):e00453-20. doi: 10.1128/MRA.00453-20.

Abstract

Trypanosoma cruzi shows a genetic diversity that has been associated with the variability of clinical manifestations, geographical distribution, and preferential parasite-vector interactions. In an effort to better understand this genetic variability, here, the draft genome of T. cruzi strain Ikiakarora (discrete typing unit TcIII), which has been associated with the sylvatic cycle, is reported.
