Orthogonal‐field‐alternation gel electrophoresis and DNA blot hybridizations have been used to investigate the genomic relationships among trypanosome clones of subgenus Nannomonas. The results indicate that Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense comprises at least two distinct groups of parasites that differ in both molecular karyotype and repetitive DNA sequences. A description of these two groups and their distinction from Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) simiae is presented.
