Evaluation of inflammation in the heart of acute T. cruzi-infected mice treated with BNZ or BNZ-MP. Animals were treated at 2 d.p.i. with BNZ-MP or BNZ at 50 mg kg−1 day−1 (RL 50, RS 50 or BNZ 50, respectively) for 30 days. Data represent the morphometric quantification of inflammatory cells in heart tissue stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01, analysed by the Kruskal–Wallis test, bars represent mean + s.d.
