Alignment of Trypanosoma rangeli and Trypanosoma cruzi COII gene. Dots indicate identity; dashes indicate gaps introduced to maximize the alignment of the sequences; bold nucleotides on dark-gray background indicate the Alu I restriction sites, and light-gray boxes indicate the annealing sites of primers Tcmit-10 (positions 1–20) and Tcmit-21 (positions 359–378).
