Geographic distribution of TcII, TcIII, TcV, and TcVI Trypanosoma cruzi clones, South America, 2002–2010. A total of 57 T. cruzi biologic clones were assembled for analysis. Of these, 24 were isolated from humans; triatomine vectors (Panstrongylus geniculatus, Rhodnius prolixus, and Triatoma venosa insects); and sylvatic mammalian hosts (Dasypus spp. armadillos) in Antioquia, Boyaca, and Casanare Departments in northern Columbia. The remaining 33 were reference clones derived from a range of rep

The remaining 33 were reference clones derived from a range of representative hosts and vectors across South America (Technical Appendix 1 Table 1). Dots indicate geographic strain origin of biologic clones; colors denote isolate discrete typing units.
