Release of cell derived tripomastigotes (cellDT) and drug susceptibilities of acute outbreaks-parasites. Figures a, b and c. Epimastigotes were allowed to infect VERO cells and released cellDT were counted each day. The figures showed the numbers of cellDT released by each clone. Figures d and e. Vero cells were infected with cellDT and treated with increased concentrations of benznidazole (BNZ, figure d) and nifurtimox (NFZ, figure e) for 5 days. Each drug concentration was evaluated in triplicate and the experiment was repeated two times. The percent of infected cells before the experiment was 60–90 %
