A comprehensive genetic and phylogenetic study of Trypanosoma spp. in bats and sand flies from shared habitats in Thailand
The Trypanosoma spp. detected in the present study aligns with prior reports of diverse trypanosomes in bat populations, reinforcing their role as key reservoirs. Notably, a single sand fly (Phlebotomus stantoni) tested positive for an unnamed anuran trypanosome, but its blood meal source could not be determined, leaving unresolved questions about potential transmission pathways.
