Figure 1From: In vitro binding and survival assays of Leishmania parasites to peripherical blood monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages isolated from dogs naturally and experimentally infected with Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasiThe binding of Leishmania promastigotes to canine monocytes. (A) Promastigotes binding to peripherical monocytes from one animal naturally infected (ANI) with Leishmania chagasi in the presence of C5D serum. (arrows) (B) Only monocytes can be observed over coverslips (assay with absence of serum C5D). Giemsa. 1000×.Back to article page
