Draft Genome Sequence of the Trypanosoma cruzi B. M. López Strain (TcIa), Isolated from a Colombian Patient.

ABSTRACT Trypanosoma cruzi parasite strains are classified into six lineages (discrete typing units TcI to TcVI). The broad genetic diversity of T. cruzi strains has an influence on the development of the host response and pathogenesis, as well as drug susceptibility. Here, the draft genome of the T. cruzi B. M. Lopez strain (TcIa) is reported.
