(A) Cardiac muscle presenting tissue parasitism with mild and focal inflammatory infiltrate (TcII – strain PR1219). (B) Striated skeletal muscle presenting tissue parasitism (TcI - AM33). (C) Striated skeletal muscle presenting tissue parasitism with mild focal inflammatory infiltrate (TcIV - AM68). (D) Liver with mild and focal inflammatory infiltrate (TcIV - AM62).The arrows indicate the nests of amastigotes. All photos were taken at 400× magnification, hematoxylin-eosin.
