Movie 14 ΔMyoA tachyzoite failing to enter U2OS cell co-expressing the PDGFRTM-GFP and mC-actin constructs. Note the narrowness of the PM fold surrounding the zoite apex and supported by F-actin. As a result compressive forces are applied on the zoite and induce large membrane bleb before zoite lysis. Scale bar: 5 μm.
