Phylogeny of the Kinetoplastida: Taxonomic Problems and Insights into the Evolution of Parasitism - English
URL: http://memorias.ioc.fiocruz.br/963/4213hm.html

To further investigate phylogeny of kinetoplastid protozoa, the sequences of small subunit (18S) ribosomal RNA of nine bodonid isolates and ten isolates of insect trypanosomatids have been determined. The root of the kinetoplastid tree was attached to the branch of Bodo designis and/or Cruzella marina. The suborder Trypanosomatina appeared as a monophyletic group, while the suborder Bodonina was paraphyletic.
