During acute infection with the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the causal agent of Chagas'
disease, tissue damage is related to intense tissue parasitism. Here we discuss histological
approaches for an optimal visualization and quantification of T. cruzi nests in the heart, the
main target organ of the parasite. These analyses are important to evaluate the course of the
infection in different experimental models and also can be used to investigate parasite
colonization and inflammatory processes in other infected tissues and biopsies.
