Fig. 1 in First record of an infection by tissue cyst-forming coccidia in wild vizcachas (Lagostomus maximus, Rodentia) of Argentina

Fig. 1. Tissue cysts in various organs of plains vizcachas. Representative photomicrographs of histological sections of ovary (A–B), uterus (C), mammary gland (D), adrenal (E), spleen (F), and suspension of cysts recovered from the superficial fascia (G), all of them collected from infected adult vizcachas. Suspension of cysts recovered from amniotic sac of an infected embryo (H). Note that while the ovaries, mammary glands, superficial fascia and fluid from amniotic sac show a high density of cysts, the rest of the organs tend to show only one or very few cysts per section. White arrowheads indicate corpora lutea and black arrowheads indicate tissue cysts. A, B, C, E and F: hematoxilin-eosin staining. D: Masson's trichrome staining.
