Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE) of 99 Chilean and 11 Paraguayan stocks of Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, was performed for 22 variable genetic loci. As previously shown for this parasite in other geographic areas, a pattern of long-term clonal evolution of T. cruzi genotypes was inferred, both by strong departures of Hardy-Weinberg expectations and high linkage disequilibrium. The presence of the two major phylogenetic lineages that subdivide the species T. cruzi [Tibayrenc, M., 1995. Population genetics of parasitic protozoa and other microorganisms. In: Baker, J.R., Muller, R., Rollinson, D. (Eds.), Advances in Parasitology, vol. 36, Academic Press, New York, pp. 47-115; Souto, R.P., Fernandes, O., Macedo, A.M., Campbell, D.A., Zingales, B., 1996. DNA markers define two major phylogenetic lineages of Trypanosoma cruzi. Mol. Biochem. Parasitol. 83, 141-152], and of several lesser genetic subdivisions ('discrete typing units' or DTUs; Tibayrenc, M., 1998a.

Integrated genetic epidemiology of infectious diseases: the Chagas model. Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz 93 (5), 577-580), was recorded in this region. Comparison between clonal populations in sylvatic and domestic transmission cycles of the disease in Chile strongly suggests that these two cycles are at least partially separated from one another.
