The three infective stages of T. gondii. Tachyzoite (a), bradyzoite (b), and sporozoite (c). The nucleus (blue) is surrounded by the rough endoplasmic reticulum (yellow). Above it, The Golgi complex (green) and the apicoplast (blue-green). The single mitochondrion spreads through the cytosol (red). Dense granules (magenta) and amylopectin granules (white) are dispersed in the cytosol. The apical complex is composed by the cylindrical conoid. Below, the secretory organelles: micronemes (orange) and rhoptries (pink). The cell body is limited by three membrane units (the pellicle) and below it a set of subpelicular microtubules
