Histopathological analysis of mouse hearts at different time points after infection. a, Heart sections stained with H&E, showing the presence of inflammatory infiltrate at 30, 90 and 180 days after infection with T. cruzi. b, Heart sections stained with Sirius red, showing areas of fibrosis at 30, 90 and 180 days after infection with T. cruzi. Arrows indicate the presence of parasite nests in the acute phase (30 days of infection). c and d, Quantification of inflammation and fibrosis by morphometric analysis in the hearts of infected mice. Data represent the mean ± SEM of 5–6 mice/group. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001. Calibration bars = 50 μM
