Question

Which of the following is the infective form of Trypanosoma cruzi?
A) epimastigotes
B) trypomastigotes
C) pseudocysts
D) amastigotes
E) miricidia

Accepted Answer

The infective form of Trypanosoma cruzi is the trypomastigotes, which are found in the feces of infected triatomine bugs and can enter the host through breaks in the skin or mucous membranes. Epimastigotes are found in the insect vector and are not infective to humans. Pseudocysts and amastigotes refer to intracellular forms of the parasite, while miricidia are a stage in the life cycle of schistosomes, not Trypanosoma cruzi.
