The origins of the trypanosome genome strains Trypanosoma brucei brucei TREU 927, T. b. gambiense DAL 972, T. vivax Y486 and T. congolense IL3000
I'm grateful to Dave Barry (Glasgow) for this key reference that contains info on the pedigree of T. vivax Y486 and of the clone/antigenic variant collection derived at ILRAD, plus the special method needed for cloning bsf T. vivax.
