Fig. 5

Ultrastructure of P. cynomolgi hypnozoites. A–F TEM micrographs showcasing the apicoplast (Api), host mitochondria (MH), a host vacuole (VH), a dense/electron-opaque P. cynomolgi vacuole (DVPc), electron-translucent P. cynomolgi vacuoles (VPc), the P. cynomolgi endomembrane network (ENPc), the P. cynomolgi mitochondrial network (MPc), P. cynomolgi nuclei (NPc) and the parasitophorous vacuole (PV) in hepatocytes infected with P. cynomolgi hypnozoites at 7 dpi. Note the association between hypnozoites and host mitochondria (A, B) or a host vacuole (C). PVM, parasitophorous vacuole membrane; PPM, parasite plasma membrane. Scale bars are 500 nm
