Population genetics of Trypanosoma evansi from camel in the Sudan.
Genetic variation of microsatellite loci is a widely used method for the analysis of population genetic structure of microorganisms. We have investigated genetic variation at 15 microsatellite loci of T. evansi isolated from camels in Sudan and Kenya to evaluate the genetic information partitioned w...

Genetic variation of microsatellite loci is a widely used method for the analysis of population genetic structure of microorganisms.
