Abstract: Tihon et al. have just published in Mol. Ecol. a fine genomic study on Trypanosoma congolense, agent of Animal African Trypanosomiasis. They present very convincing evidence that T. congolense underwent several hybridization events between distinct… read more here.

Abstract: Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, is a paradigmatic case of the predominant clonal evolution (PCE) model, which states that the impact of genetic recombination in pathogens’ natural populations is not sufficient to suppress… read more here.
