Representative images of Masson´s trichrome stained-cardiac tissue from (A) non-infected, (B) infected untreated, (C) E6020-SE, (D) low BNZ, (E) vaccine alone and (F) low BNZ plus vaccine experimental groups. Five-nine representative photographs were taken from the myocardial region and were acquired at 10X magnification using a microscope adapted with a digital camera. Cell cytoplasm appears in red and collagen fibbers in blue. Black arrows show fibbers of collagen. Scale bar corresponds to 10μm.
