Growing diversity of trypanosomatid parasites of flies (Diptera: Brachycera): Frequent cosmopolitism and moderate host specificity
Abstract
Trypanosomatids parasitizing Brachycera are host specific on the level of the genus. All clades (including Angomonas) are cosmopolitan. 24 New typing units of trypanosomatids (36 in total) were identified. Multiple infections of brachyceran hosts are common (33%).
