High Prevalence and Endemism of Trypanosomatids on a Small Caribbean Island

The high proportion of unique TUs from the former location suggests that the prominent role of islands in increasing the global diversity of macroscopic organisms may also extend to their protistan parasites.

Endangered monoxenous trypanosomatid parasites: a lesson from island biogeography

The high proportion of endemic TUs detected in insects from Madagascar, Reunion, and Mauritius suggests that the prominent role of islands in the global diversity of macroscopic organisms likely extends also to their protistan parasites and that the protection of macro-organisms in biodiversity hot spots can also protect the vast, yet mainly invisible, diversity of their parasitic companions.

15 – Classification and phylogeny of Trypanosoma cruzi

Ultrastructure and molecular phylogeny of four new species of monoxenous trypanosomatids from flies (Diptera: Brachycera) with redefinition of the genus Wallaceina.

It is demonstrated that the 'collosoma' group represents the elusive genus Wallaceina Podlipaev, Frolov et Kolesnikov, 1999 and is redefine this genus in molecular terms based on similarities of the respective molecular markers and proposed to use this taxon name for the group of species of the 'CollOSoma' clade.

Evaluating the role of morphological characters in the phylogeny of some trypanosomatid genera (Excavata, Kinetoplastea, Trypanosomatida)

The belief that morphological characters are inferior to molecular ones for trypanosomatid systematics is demonstrated to be a consequence of neglecting their inclusion in phylogenetic analyses.
