The genetic distance calculations for 45 Bolivian stocks of Trypanosoma cruzi show the lack of continuum among them and allow to distinguish two main groups, which origin is perhaps a passed speciation. The presence of some heterogeneity within each group leads us to propose a temporary terminology: each isozymic variant is called "zymostrain" without prejudging its medical or taxonomic importance. The relationships between biochemical Taxonomy and medical data are discussed. The taxonomic value of the different isoenzymes is examined. The possible immunogenic properties of some of them (particularly Glutamate deshydrogenase) is discussed.
对45个玻利维亚克氏锥虫株系进行的遗传距离计算表明，它们之间缺乏连续性，可区分出两个主要群体，其起源可能是一次过去的物种形成。每个群体中存在的一些异质性使我们提出一个临时术语：每个同工酶变体称为“酶株”，而不预先判断其医学或分类学重要性。讨论了生化分类学与医学数据之间的关系。研究了不同同工酶的分类学价值。讨论了其中一些同工酶（特别是谷氨酸脱氢酶）可能的免疫原性。
