Fig. 2 in First record of an infection by tissue cyst-forming coccidia in wild vizcachas (Lagostomus maximus, Rodentia) of Argentina

Fig. 2. Cysts localized in adult brain and in an embryonic pituitary gland of plains vizcachas. Representative photomicrographs of histological sections of adult brains of infected vizcachas. Black arrowhead indicates a solitary tissue cyst in the striatum (A). A detailed view shows signs of inflammatory cells infiltration (arrow) (B). Silver impregnation staining allows visualization of the wall of a cortical tissue cyst (white arrowhead)(C). Embryonic pituitary exhibited multiple of cysts per section (black arrowheads) (D). Arrows indicate the radial arrangement of bradyzoites in the cyst wall in a detailed view of the embryo pituitary (E). A–B: Giemsa staining. C: silver impregnation technique. D–E: hematoxilin-eosin staining.
