The parameters of interest included diameter, circularity, relative particle count (RPC), fractal dimension (FD), lacunarity, and packing density (PD). Cysts were transferred to black background images for subsequent particle analysis. In that manner, all of the cyst cross-section images were subjected to an 148 automated processing and the obtained particle numbers, N p , were expected to be proportional to the Fig 2C. Novel approaches reveal that Toxoplasma 357 gondii bradyzoites within tissue cysts are dynamic and replicating entities in vivo Vet S2 Data -Fractal dimension and lacunarity of tissue cysts (n=31) ./cache/cord-103715-53v1qoyc.txt ./txt/cord-103715-53v1qoyc.txt
