Frequency distribution of Trypanosoma cruzi in macrophages from resistant and susceptible strains of mice.
The frequency distribution of Trypanosoma cruzi inside macrophages from normal or chronically infected resistant and susceptible mice obeys a negative binomial type of distribution. This implies that an "aggregating mechanism" operates in T. cruzi: macrophage interaction.
