Fig. 3 in First molecular investigation of haemosporidian parasites in Thai bat species

Fig. 3. Images of bats with Nycteria positive infection based on either microscopic examination or cytb gene PCR amplification and sequencing results: M. spasma (a), C. thonglongyai (b), T. melanopogon (c), and E. spelaea (d). Giemsa-stained blood smears depicting very early gametocyte (e) with chromatin dot pointed by arrowhead, young and growing macrogametocytes (female) (f–g), growing and fully-grown macrogametocytes (h–k), and growing and fullygrown microgametocytes (l–m) of Nycteria observed in M. spasma (sample ID THBat19- 177, cytb accession no. MT136163). All parasite images were taken at the same magnification. Scale bar = 5 μm. (For viewing the images in color, the reader is referred to the online version of this article).
