Recipient strain | Parasite strain | D.P.I. | Failures/ total | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Exp. 1 | C3H(He)SnJ | Sylvio X10/4 | 180–380 | 2/18 |
C3H(He)SnJ | None | 1/8 | ||
Exp. 2 | C3H(He)SnJ | Sylvio X10/4 | 210–230 | 2/13 |
C3H(He)SnJ | None | 1/14 |
Syngeneic neonatal hearts were transplanted into age-matched C3H(He)SnJ male mice that were either not infected or were infected 180–380 days previously (D.P.I.) with the Sylvio X10/4 clone of T. cruzi. The number of hearts that failed to beat within 14 days posttransplantation from the total transplanted is indicated.
