Figure 1. Swiss Webster mice infected with the Y strain of T. cruzi-developed acute CD.

Mice were infected with 104 blood trypomastigote forms, and the following parameters were evaluated in a kinetic study: (A) parasitemia, (B) weight and (C) survival rate. The parasitemia peak occurred at 8 dpi (A). T. cruzi infection induced a significant body weight decrease in a time-dependent manner, starting at 12 dpi. At 22 dpi, the average weight of the NI mice was 31.4±1.9 g, while that of the T. cruzi-infected group was 23.8±2.5 g (B). At 22 dpi, only 20% of the infected animals survived (C). Quantitative data are expressed as the means ± SEM (n  =  20). One-way ANOVA test, p<0.05* and p<0.001***, comparing the infected group at 15 dpi with the NI group; dpi: days post-infection; NI: non-infected.
