Improved Method for In Vitro Secondary Amastigogenesis of <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>: Morphometrical and Molecular Analysis of Intermediate Developmental Forms

<table>The shape and position of the nucleus and the kinetoplast identified the different IFs. The morphology and position of the nucleus and the kinetoplast were determined by indirect immunofluorescence and DAPI staining of trypomastigotes (a), IFs at 1 hour (b), 2 hours (c), 3 hours (d), 4 hours (e), 5 hours (f) and 6 hours (g) of transformation and amastigotes (h).
