Figure 5From: Permissiveness of bovine epithelial cells from lung, intestine, placenta and udder for infection with Coxiella burnetii C. burnetii NMI and NMII in udder epithelial cells. A CCV in udder cells filled with numerous (*1) or few (*2) C. burnetii. Note ruptured CCV (arrowhead). 7 days pi NMII. Bar = 8.0 µm. B Extracellular LCV (thick arrow) and SCV (thin arrow) adjacent to a large CCV. 7 days pi. NMI. Bar = 2.3 µm. C CCV containing predominantly LCV and small amounts of cellular debris (arrowheads). 7 days pi. NMII. Bar = 2.3 µm. D CCV filled with both LCV (thick arrow, exampl.) and SCV (thin arrow, exampl.). 7 days pi. NMII. Bar = 1.7 µm.Back to article page
