Effect of maternal administration of SA35/40 mix on C. parvum infection in the ileum of neonate mice. Transverse sections of small intestine from neonate mice after infection with 5 × 103 oocysts labelled with anti-C. parvum rabbit serum [26] and a FITC-conjugated secondary antibody. a, b Sections from mice born from females immunised with SA35/40 mix; parasites are not visualised. c, d sections from mice born from females immunised only with LT as adjuvant (control group); various parasitophorous vacuoles are visualised by brilliant green staining. Magnification 1000×; microscopic slides were acquired using transmitted light bright field (BF), green fluorescence light (FICT) and images merged together (overlay). White arrows in panels c and d indicate typical parasitophorous vacuoles emerging from the intestinal epithelial tissue
