- 07:07Conclusion
The present protocol describes light-sheet fluorescent microscopy and automated software-assisted methods to visualize and precisely quantify proliferating and dormant Trypanosoma cruzi parasites and T cells in intact, cleared organs and tissues. These techniques provide a reliable way to evaluate treatment outcomes and offer new insights into parasite-host interactions.
