Histopathological identification of B. besnoiti cyst (haematoxylin and eosin stain, ×1000). The sample was taken at 70 dpi from the fore leg dermis of the B05 rabbit. Tissue cyst of B. besnoiti in collagenic dermis was spherical in shape, thick walled and contained a single maximally developed parasitophorous vacuole with thousands of bradyzoites. Note the several host cell nuclei and nucleoli. A granulomatous inflammatory infiltrate (predominantly macrophages and lymphocytes) surrounded the cyst. Bar = 10 μm
