Trypanosoma cruzi II is associated with Chagas disease in the southern part of South America. We analyzed T. cruzi variants in field-collected triatomines and congenitally infected infants living in the same disease-endemic region in Paraguay. Results of polymerase chain reactions for T. cruzi kinetoplast DNA and satellite DNA were positive in 83 triatomine feces samples and 58 infant blood samples. However, lineages were detected in 33 and 38 samples, respectively. Trypanosoma cruzi genotypes were determined in 56 (97%) blood samples after hybridization by using specific probes. The Tc I genotype was not detected. The prevalent sublineage was Tc IId in triatomines (27 of 33) and infant blood (36 of 58) as assessed by amplification of the 24Salpha ribosomal RNA and the mini-exon region genes. The Tc IIc genotype was detected in 20 infant blood samples and in 1 triatomine. This study shows T. cruzi II is the predominant lineage circulating in triatomines and humans in endemic areas of eastern region of Paraguay.

克氏锥虫II与南美南部的南美锥虫病有关。我们分析了野外收集的triatomics和生活在巴拉圭同一疾病流行地区的先天性感染婴儿中的T. cruzi变体。在83份三甲胺粪便样本和58份婴儿血液样本中,克氏T. cruzi激酶体DNA和卫星DNA的聚合酶链反应结果为阳性。然而,分别在33个和38个样本中检测到谱系。使用特异性探针杂交后,在56 (97%) 个血液样品中测定克氏锥虫基因型。未检测到Tc I基因型。通过扩增24个Salpha核糖体RNA和迷你外显子区域基因来评估,在三核蛋白 (33个中的27个) 和婴儿血液 (58个中的36个) 中,普遍存在的亚链是Tc IId。在20个婴儿血液样本和1个triatomin中检测到Tc IIc基因型。这项研究表明,T. cruzi II是巴拉圭东部地区流行地区的triatomics和人类中流行的主要谱系。
