Sex, Subdivision, and Domestic Dispersal of Trypanosoma cruzi Lineage I in Southern Ecuador
Figure 1
Distribution of genotypes in communities and transmission cycles in Loja Province.
Black dots indicate locations from which isolates were obtained. Colored circles indicate proportion of LOJASylv (green) and LOJADom/Peri (red) genotypes (see Figure 2) among T. cruzi isolates from foci designated as sylvatic (S) or domestic/peridomestic (D/P). Crossed circles indicate absence of isolates from a particular location.The area of each pie chart represents the number of samples. LOJADom/Peri is more common among D/P foci, largely irrespective of community. However, some cross-propagation between transmission cycles is evident. Insert shows in gray the location of Loja province within Ecuador and of Ecuador within South America.
