Trypanosoma cruzi Infection in Genetically Selected Mouse Lines: Genetic Linkage with Quantitative Trait Locus Controlling Antibody Response
Figure 4
Parasite loads in the cardiac muscles of HIII and LIII male and female mice 150 days after infection (sc) with 103 trypomastigote forms of the CL strain of T. cruzi. Significant differences of the parasite loads in 65 ng of DNA isolated from cardiac tissue are indicated: X (between HIII males and HIII females); ND: not determined (all male LIII mice die in the acute phase).
