Morphometric data (μm) for Trypanosoma sp. Bratislava1 epimastigotes (n = 23) were compared to published data from other Trypanosoma species isolated from ticks, Trypanosoma rhipicephalis (Marotta et al., 2018a) and Trypanosoma amblyommi (Marotta et al., 2018b). Parameters measured were total length (TL); posterior end to kinetoplast (PK); kinetoplast to middle of nucleus (KN); middle of nucleus to anterior end (NA); free flagellum (FF); posterior end to middle of nucleus (PN); nucleus diameter (NL); kinetoplast length (K). Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation, with the range in brackets.
