Fifteen stocks of T. evansi isolated in Sudan were compared using isoenzyme banding patterns. Differences between the stocks were found but overall they formed a homogeneous group. The results were similar to those obtained for other stocks of T. evansiisolated from Kenya, W. Africa, S. America and Kuwait and indicate that little genetic variation occurs in T. evansi over its geographical range. This low variation may have important implications in the development of new methods of controlling trypanosomiasis caused by T. evansi.
利用同工酶谱带模式对在苏丹分离出的15株伊氏锥虫进行了比较。发现不同菌株之间存在差异,但总体上它们形成了一个同质群体。这些结果与从肯尼亚、西非、南美洲和科威特分离出的其他伊氏锥虫菌株所获得的结果相似,表明伊氏锥虫在其地理分布范围内几乎没有遗传变异。这种低变异可能对开发控制由伊氏锥虫引起的锥虫病的新方法具有重要意义。
