A Simple, Highly Efficient Plating Method for Trypanosomatids1

Abstract
A simple technique for plating trypanosomatids includes use of plates with lower agar concentrations than those usually prescribed for plating bacteria and a simple system to prevent dehydration due to the long incubation time needed for formation of visible colonies. Consistently high plating efficiency was thus achieved. Colonies from Herpetomonas samuelpessoai and Crithidia deanei were clearly distinguishable from each other; their individual characteristics varied with plating conditions.
