Lipid composition of three morphological stages of Trypanosoma cruzi.
The neutral and phospholipid content at each of the three morphological stages of the parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi, was analyzed by thin-layer chromatography. Total lipid fatty acid composition at each stage was analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography and the results were compared. Change in lipid composition at each stage was observed.
