In this video is shown the effect of hypoosotic shock on Trypanosoma brucei. The parasites containing RAN binding protein in fusion with GFP. The image was acquired under a fluorescence microscope with the GFP filter and DIC imaging setup.
T. cruzi has different developmental stages: Proliferative epimastigotes and amastigotes and non-proliferative, but infective trypomastigotes. Nutrient starvation induces growth arrest and differentiation.
