Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of T. livingstonei . (a) Ultrastructural organisation of epimastigotes in longitudinal and transversal sections showing the nucleus, kinetoplast, reservosomes concentrated at the posterior region, basal body, flagellum and paraflagellar rod (b) longitudinal section of an dividing epimastigote exhibiting a new emerging flagella and a lengthened kinetoplast and the invagination of the flagellar pocket membrane forming the cytostome; (c) longitudinal section showing the cytostome opening and groove surrounded by microtubules penetrating deep into the cytoplasm; (c) compacted disk shaped kinetoplast. N, nucleus; K, kinetoplast; F, flagellum; R, reservosome; Cy, cytostome; Bb, basal body; PR, paraflagellar rod; MT, microtubules.
