Release of Hepatic Plasmodium yoelii Merozoites into the Pulmonary Microvasculature

Pulmonary Merosomes Are Viable
Mouse lung analyzed ex vivo 48 h after infection with PyGFP. Generally, neither merosomes nor free merozoites incorporated intravenously injected PI indicating that the parasites were viable. Note that one of the merozoites is PI-positive (arrowhead). Nuclei were visualized by Hoechst staining (blue). Bar = 10 μm.
