Fig. 2 in First molecular investigation of haemosporidian parasites in Thai bat species

Fig. 2. Images of bats with Hepatocystis positive infection based on either microscopic examination or cytb gene PCR amplification and sequencing results: H. larvatus (a), H. bicolor (b), H. armiger (c), H. lekakuli (d), R. malayanus (e), R. thomasi (f), R. pearsonii (g), C. thonglongyai (h), and Cy. brachyotis (i). Giemsa-stained blood smears depicting young gametocytes of Hepatocystis in ring and amoeboid forms (j–l), growing and fully-grown macrogametocytes (female) (m–o), growing and fully-grown microgametocytes (male) (p–r) observed in H. larvatus (sample ID THBat19-037, cytb accession no. MT136132). All parasite images were taken at the same magnification. Scale bar = 5 μm. (For viewing the images in color, the reader is referred to the online version of this article).
