Resumen
A comparison of kDNA restriction-endonuclease fragment patterns from strains representing selected Endotrypanum zymodemes was done by schizodeme analysis. As the degree of heterogeneity
within mini-circles varied among species or strains of Endotrypanum, the fingerprint obtained with
each of the restriction enzymes was unique for each of these parasites. The data have revealed that this
trypanosomatid genus is much more complex than it was originally thought to be.
