cruzi
epimastigote forms demonstrated growth inhibition higher than that observed with benznidazole, (23) and activity against Leishmania donovani was observed, with considerable reduction in parasitic burden and spleen weight in vivo.
In contrast, in the
epimastigote stage, the mLYT1 transcript amounts to 10.5% and the transcript that gives origin to the kLYT1 isoform represents 89.5% of the mRNAs derived from the LYT1 gene [15].

epimastigote and that filaments roughly 11 nm in diameter connected the kDNA to the basal body (Figure 5(a)).
Flavonoids also inhibit the protein kinase, affecting the cellular proliferation, including that in
epimastigote and amastigote forms of T.
(Asteraceae, Compositae) against
epimastigote and amastigote forms.
Trypanosomatides occur in different morphological forms in its life cycle viz amastigote (leishmanial), promastigote (leptomonad),
epimastigote (crithidial), trypomastigote (trypanosomal) and opisthomastigote (herpetomonad).
Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the antitrypanosomal activity of gallic acid and its esters against
epimastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi.
Inhibitory Effects on T cruzi
Epimastigote Proliferation.
The standard curve for the absolute quantification was generated by a 1:10 serial dilution of DNA extracted from the Colombian strain
epimastigote culture stocks, ranging from [10.sup.6] to 10 parasite equivalents.
Trypanosoma cruzi Epimastigogenesis: A Method for Studying Trypomastigote to
Epimastigote Transformation In Vivo
The present study evaluated the inhibitory effect of benznidazole on the growth of
epimastigote forms of T.
Epimastigote forms of the flagellate were maintained at 28[degrees]C in BHI medium supplemented with 10% (v [v.sup.-1]) heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum and 0.2% (v [v.sup.-1]) rabbit hemoglobin, pH 7.3 (growth medium).
