Figure 3

Sequences obtained during diagnosis of chagasic encephalitis in 31-year-old man in the United States. Alignment of amplicon sequence isolated from the patient was compared with a reference Trypanosoma cruzi 5.8S rRNA internal transcribed spacer sequence (GenBank accession no. L22334.1). Percentage identity was 98.9% (346/350 bases). Hyphens indicate gaps in the genome.
