Morphology of G2 null mutant parasites.A. Confocal bright-field (BF) and green fluorescent (GFP) microscope images of two ookinetes.B. Confocal images of a sporulating oocyst.C. Confocal images of three midgut sporozoites.D. Electron micrographs of a wild-type (WT) ookinete (left panel) and a G2-KO ookinete (right panel). The pellicle and collar are still present in the null mutant.E. Electron micrographs of a cross-section through WT and G2-KO midgut sporozoites, showing an abnormal organization of the subpellicular microtubules. The arrows point to the solitary microtubule (WT), or the four microtubules that occupy approximately half of the circumference of the cell (G2-KO).This figure is available in colour online at http://wileyonlinelibrary.com.
