The ribosomal RNA genes of two species of Trypanosoma, Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas' disease, and Trypanosoma conorhini, a non-pathogenic rodent trypanosome, were cloned and partially characterized. The physical maps derived for their rRNA genes were similar throughout the region that encompasses the SSU-and LSU-rRNA coding sequences. However, the non-transcribed spacer DNA of both T. cruzi and T. conorhini was found to be polymorphic for several restriction enzyme sites. We show that strains of T. cruzi can be typed according to the characteristic restriction fragment length polymorphism of their NTS DNAs.
