Trypanosoma livingstonei: a new species from African bats supports the bat seeding hypothesis for the Trypanosoma cruzi clade

Abstract: BackgroundBat trypanosomes have been implicated in the evolutionary history of the T. cruzi clade, which comprises species from a wide geographic and host range in South America, Africa and Europe, including bat-restricted species and the generalist agents of human American trypanosomosis T. cruzi and T. rangeli.MethodsTrypanosomes from bats (Rhinolophus landeri and Hipposideros caffer) captured in Mozambique, southeast Africa, were isolated by hemoculture. Barcoding was carried out through the V7V8 region of … Show more

“…This necessitates the ability of T. cruzi to pass through the oral/gastric mucosa (Thomas et al, 2007), similarly to other stercorarian trypanosomes (Lima et al, 2013). However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, this has not been demonstrated in case of bodonids.…”

“…Isto levou à proposição de uma nova hipótese evolutiva (Teoria do "Bat Seeding"), segundo a qual o ancestral comum do clado é um tripanossoma de morcego, que se diversificou e se dispersou geograficamente (Hamilton et al, 2012). Esta hipótese tem sido corroborada pelo isolamento de tripanossomas de morcego filogeneticamente posicionados na porção basal do clado T. cruzi (Lima et al, 2013(Lima et al, , 2015a.…”
