Left: Fluorescence microscopy of human erythrocytes infected with GFP-expressing B. bacilliformis ATCC 35686 (6 h). Note the deformation of the erythrocyte cell surface (Aepfelbacher and Kempf, 2018). Scale-bar: 10 µm. Right: Scanning electron microscopy of infected human erythrocytes (24 h). Note the deformation of the erythrocyte. Scale-bar: 1 µm (courtesy of C. Sittmann, Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany and K.
