[The intergenic region of the histone H2a gene supports two major lineages of Trypanosoma rangeli].

Introduction: Trypanosoma rangeli has been classified in the KP1(+) and KP1(-) subpopulations, based on the mini-exon gene and kinetoplast DNA minicircle amplification profiles.

Objective: The intergenic region of the histone h2a gene was compared between KP1(+) and KP1(-) strains of T. rangeli to substantiate this classification.
