Two enzymically distinct stocks of Trypanosoma congolense. 1986

J K Gashumba

Two stocks of Trypanosoma congolense, isolated from a sheep and a goat on the Kenyan coast, were found to be distinctly different from 112 other stocks of the same species after comparing, by isoenzyme electrophoresis, trypanosomes originating from various parts of Africa. The results show a marked genetic distinction that may be of epidemiological or taxonomic significance.
