Figure 3

Ultrastructure of T. gondii tachyzoites grown in HFF exposed to peptide 6027 during 6 h (A–D), 24 h (E) and 48 h (F). (A,C) are lower-magnification views, while (B,D) show more detailed views at higher magnification. The bold arrow in A points to a tachyzoite located in a vacuole that is filled with an electron-dense matrix (ma), and the thin arrows in (F) indicate the lack of a defined parasitophorous vacuole membrane (pvm) after 48 h of treatment (F); ant = anterior end; dz = emerging daughter zoites; dg = dense granules; hnuc = host nucleus; rop = rhoptries; mic = micronemes; nuc = nucleus; con = conoid; v = vacuolization; mt = mitochondrial residues; ld = lipid droplets. Bars in (A) = 1.1 µm; (B) = 0.35 µm; (C)= 0.75 µm; (D) = 0.28 µm; (E,F) = 0.75 µm.
