Figure 7 <italic>T. carassii</italic> swimming behaviour in tissue fluids outside blood.

(A) Schematic representation of T. carassii swimming in the peritoneal or heart cavity, both environments without hydrodynamic flow and red blood cells; here, most of the trypanosomes are tumblers, only occasionally was a persistent swimmer observed. (B) Selected frame from Video 6, capturing trypanosomes in the peritoneal cavity. More than 100 trypanosomes are present but are not all in focus in the selected frame; the majority are tumblers. The tracks of four representative tumblers (green) and of the only three persistent swimmers (red) are shown. Video 6 contains high-speed videos showing the location and swimming behaviours described above.
