(A) Growth curves of wild-type (WT, circles) and TcγKO (γKO, squares) epimastigotes. Data represent mean ± SD of three independent experiments. ** p < 0.05 (test-t). (B) Number of metacyclic trypomastigotes (MT) obtained after 72 h of metacyclogenesis (epimastigote to metacyclic trypomastigote differentiation) in vitro for WT (black column) and γKO (gray column) parasite populations. Data represent mean ± SD of three independent experiments. * P < 0.01 (test-t).
