title: Electron microscope observations of Trypanosoma cruzi during development inside the haemocytes of Triatominae.
abstract: The haemolymph of Panstrongylus megistus, infected by Trypanosoma cruzi, was examined by light and electron microscopy. Numerous parasites lie inside the haemocytes, each one in a vacuole. Their well-preserved morphological features support the concept of parasite multiplication in cells of the insect haemolymph.
