Abstract

Stocks derived from 10 different primary isolates of T. vivax were subjected to isoenzyme analysis for 34 enzymes by both isoelectric focusing in agarose and electrophoresis in starch gel. Trypanosomes were measured and their morphology examined for comparison with the biochemical data. Thirteen enzymes (14 zymograms) were selected to construct isoenzyme profiles. Nine different zymodemes were identified and only two stocks were identical. Both rodent infectivity and the production of the haemorrhagic syndrome could be correlated with the isoenzyme profiles.
