Amplified products of Trypanosoma cruzi by PCR in fecal samples of human xenodiagnosis. GelRed™ stained 2 % agarose gel of amplified products of Trypanosoma cruzi minicircle kinetoplastid PCR from fecal samples (FS) of triatomines (Triatoma infestans) fed on untreated chronic chagasic patients (PCR-XD). Lane C: control; Lane M: 100 bp ladder; Lanes 1-10: PCR-XD positive in ten patients (band of 330 bp specific for T. cruzi); Lane NC: FS-DNA extracted from five triatomines free infection; Lane PC: DNA T. cruzi Tulahuén strain
