Abstract
Intracellular forms of
Trypanosoma cruzi
were destroyed in infected mouse macrophage cultures treated for 24 h with micromolar concentrations of phenazine methosulfate, brilliant cresyl blue, or crystal violet. Parasites were not killed in macrophages which were only treated with the dyes before infection, indicating that the drugs did not induce a protracted state of macrophage trypanocidal activity.
