The morphology of tubulin filaments and EC induced by malaria sera. A and C: Shrinkage of tubulin filaments and ECs with cortical condensation (arrowheads); B and D: Appearance of eccentric nuclei (arrowheads). Normal ECs are shown in asterisks. A, B: ECs induced by sera from complicated P. falciparum. (magnification X200). ECs were incubated with media only (green line), non-malaria patient sera (grey line), malaria sera from P. vivax (orange line), uncomplicated P. falciparum (blue line) and complicated P. falciparum (red line). **Significant difference of P. falciparum compared with P. vivax and control groups (p < 0.05). Data are presented as mean ± SEM
