Fig. 4 in First molecular investigation of haemosporidian parasites in Thai bat species

Fig. 4. Images of bats with Polychromophilus positive infection based on either microscopic examination or cytb gene PCR amplification and sequencing results: My. siligorensis (a) and T. melanopogon (b). Giemsa-stained blood smears depicting growing and fully-grown macrogametocytes of Polychromophilus murinus observed in My. siligorensis (c–e) (sample ID THBat19-211, cytb accession no. MT136168). Growing and fully-grown macrogametocytes of Polychromophilus melanipherus observed in T. melanopogon (f–h) (sample ID THBat19- 170, cytb accession no. MT136167). Fullygrown microgametocytes of P. murinus (i–k). All parasite images were taken at the same magnification. Scale bar = 5 μm.
