Cryptococcal cell size influences the frequency of trapping within blood vessels.
A-E: Infection of KDRL mCherry blood marker transgenic line with 1000 cfu Δplb1-H99, Δlac1-H99 or parental H99-GFP C. neoformans A Size of cryptococcal cells injected into zebrafish larvae on the day of infection (>300 cryptococcal cells measured per strain) B Blocked vessels (% of all inter-segmental vessels) at 1 dpi (n = 2, +/- SD, **p<0.01, Kruskal-Wallis test) C Blocked vessels (% of all inter-segmental vessels) at 3 dpi (n = 2, +/- SD, Kruskal-Wallis test) D Vessel width with or without C. neoformans at 1 dpi (n = 2, +/- SD, ns = not significant, **p<0.01, ****p<0.0001, Kruskal-Wallis test) E Vessel width with or without C. neoformans at 3 dpi (n = 2, +/- SD, ns = not significant, *p<0.05, ****p<0.0001, Kruskal-Wallis test).
