The photograph on the left is a from a spleen smear of an
Indian student (from India; not a native American) with fever, malaise,
and an enlarged liver and spleen.
The student has never been south of the Kansas/Oklahoma border. The
tiny parasites measure about 3 micrometers in length. A blood smear
was negative for parasites. What species
is probably represented?
Cryptosporidium parvum
Leishmania donovani
Trypanosoma rhodesiense
Trypanosoma cruzi
