The interaction between mouse peritoneal macrophages and Y strain T. cruzi bloodstream forms was studied at optical microscopical and EM levels. The method of marking lysosomes with Thorotrast, either before or after infection of cell monolayers with parasites, revealed that secondary lysosomes fused with phagosomes shortly after trypanosome interiorization. Despite this, 24 h later most parasites were no longer in a vacuole but lay free within the host cell cytoplasm, multiplying actively. At this time, and up to shortly before 96 h when parasites escaped to the external milieu, most parasitized cells were not lethally injured, as revealed by the Trypan blue dye exclusion test. Only when parasites were released into the external medium was this situation reversed, and infected macrophages took up the dye.
