​Trypanosomiasis

The amastigote forms can be seen from the biopsy of the tissue while trypomastigote can only be detected from the blood film.

The vector for transmission of trypanosoma cruzi is a reduviid bug / kissing bug. After entering the host, trypomastigote will spread to the blood system and infect organs such as heart and muscles. Glial cells are also affected. Trypomastigote will convert into amastigote and finally kills the cells.
