Clones of metacyclic and bloodstream trypanosomes from flies harbouring mature infections containing hybrid trypanosomes were established and screened for several isoenzyme and restriction fragment length polymorphisms. For each of the three combinations of parents, some progeny clones were observed to be of a phenotype and genotype indicating that genetic exchange had occurred during development of the trypanosomes in flies. These hybrid clones shared three salient features: (1) where the parents were homozygous variants the progeny were heterozygous, (2) where one of the parents was heterozygous, allelic segregation was observed and (3) the progeny clones were shown to be recombinant when two or more markers for which one of the parents was heterozygous were examined. These results are consistent with the progeny being an F<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub> in a diploid mendelian genetic system involving meiosis and syngamy. Our observations show that all possible combinations of the three stocks may undergo genetic exchange. A marker analysis of a series of clones each derived from single metacyclic trypanosomes showed that individual flies transmit a mixture of trypanosome genotypes corresponding to F<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub> progeny and to parental types, indicating that genetic exchange was a non-obligatory event in the life-cycle of the trypanosome. In addition, a preliminary analysis of the phenotype of procyclic stage trypanosomes derived from flies infected with two stocks, indicates that genetic exchange is unlikely to occur at this stage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182000060571","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,5]],"date-time":"2009-06-05T10:36:07Z","timestamp":1244198167000},"page":"377-386","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":70,"title":["Evidence that the mechanism of gene exchange in <i>Trypanosoma brucei<\/i> involves meiosis and syngamy"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"101","author":[{"given":"C.
