(barbed long arrow, red blood cell; simple long arrow, parasite nucleus). c, d Microfilaria. e, f Trypanosoma sp. (barbed long arrow, red blood cells; short arrow, undulating membrane; arrowhead, kinetoplast; simple long arrow, parasite nucleus). g, h Trypanosoma everetti (short arrow, undulating membrane; arrowhead, kinetoplast).
