Figure 2

Susceptibility of zebrafish larvae to <italic>T. carassii </italic>infection and kinetics of parasitaemia.
<italic>T. carassii</italic> attaches to cells or surfaces through its posterior end leaving the flagellum free to move. (A) Blood was freshly drawn from carp and trypanosomes' swimming behaviour immediately imaged using high-resolution microscopy at 240 frames fps. Images are frames (indicated by the numbers) of four different locations within the same field of view, selected from the corresponding Video 2. Note how the posterior end of the parasites is attached to the red blood cell and the flagellum is free to move. (B) Selected frames from Video 2, at the indicated time points, show how T. carassii can also adhere to glass surfaces through the posterior end (white arrow) leaving the body and flagellum free to move. 10.7554/eLife.48388.008Figure 2—source data 1.
