Use of the placental perfusion model to evaluate transplacental passage of Trypanosoma cruzi

To determine whether Trypanosoma cruzi could be identified in placental cells in vitro and in placental tissue using a human ex vivo perfusion model. A placental cell line was incubated with trypomastigotes for progressive time periods. Trypomastigotes were also infused as a bolus into the maternal...
