From: Plasmodium berghei Cap93, a novel oocyst capsule-associated protein, plays a role in sporozoite development

Fig. 10

Ultrastructure of oocyst development in PbCap93-KO parasites. Left panels: Low power ultrastructural images of oocyst development at 15 days post-infection. Right panels: Details of the oocyst capsule from the area outlined by red squares on the left. The cleft enlarges, dividing the oocyst cytoplasm into the intermediate sporoblast form (SB) and budding sporozoite (SP). Some sporozoites are outside the oocyst (oSP). Small tufts (T) of material appear on the inner capsule (C) and matrix granules (MG). Scale-bars: 1 μm
