Follow up of BALB/c mice infected with 105 trypomastigotes of transgenic Dm28c-luc strain.In vivo quantification of bioluminescent foci were performed in images of mice in the ventral position after subtracting the background signal from measurement ROI, identified in the images by the automatic ROI tool (n = 12). Average and standard deviation of radiance of abdomen (diamond) and urogenital region (triangle) (A), thorax (black square), snout (white square), paws (dark gray square) and ears (gray square) (B). Dpi 0 corresponds to measurements made 1 hour after inoculation.
