Figure 2
Morphological changes of Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes treated with diethyldithiocarbamate and analysed by scanning electron microscopy. Image 1 corresponding to the control of strain y, 2—4 corresponding to the treatment with DETC in concentrations 44 µM (2), 111 µM (3) and 222 µM (4); image 5 corresponding to the control of strain Dm28c, 6—8 corresponding to the treatment with DETC in concentrations 44 µM (6), 111 µM (7) and 222 µM (8); images 9 corresponding to the control of strain QMM9, 10—12 corresponding to the treatment with DETC in concentrations 44 µM (10), 111 µM (11) and 222 µM (12); and image 13 corresponding to the control of strain CL Brener corresponding to the treatment with DETC in concentrations 44 µM (14), 111 µM (15) and 222 µM (16), 14—16 . The yellow arrows in the figure indicate the presence of pore in parasite structure. Scanning electron microscopy under a FEG microscope (Model augira, Brand Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, WB, GER).
