FIG 2.

(A) Myocardial inflammation score for WT and iPLA₂β-KO mice following T. cruzi infection for up to 12 weeks. (B) Number of parasites in the myocardium per field for WT and iPLA₂β-KO mice following T. cruzi infection for 4 weeks. **, P < 0.01 compared to WT. The results in panels A and B are means + SEMs for at least 6 separate samples. (C) Hematoxylin-and-eosin-stained sections of hearts from WT and iPLA₂β-KO mice following 4 weeks of T. cruzi infection. Arrows, parasite pseudocysts in the myocardium.
