Efficacy of common laboratory disinfectants and heat on killing trypanosomatid parasites.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Host specificity is one of the outputs of the coevolution between parasites and their associated hosts. Several scenarios have been proposed to explain the pattern of parasite distribution in parental and hybrid genotypes ranging from hybrid resistance to hybrid susceptibility. We hypothesized that host-para...
