Progress in imaging methods: insights gained into Plasmodium biology

Nature Reviews Microbiology 15, 37 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.158 Authors: Mariana De Niz, Paul-Christian Burda, Gesine Kaiser, Hernando A. del Portillo, Tobias Spielmann, Freddy Frischknecht & Volker T. Heussler Over the past decade, major advances in imaging techniques have enhanced our understanding of Plasmodium spp. parasites and their interplay with mammalian hosts and mosquito vectors. Cryoelectron tomography, cryo-X-ray tomography and super-resolution microscopy have shifted paradigms of sporozoite and gametocyte structure, the process of
