Extended Data Fig. 10: Apical area of a Sarcocystis tenella cystozoite.
From: An Alveolata secretory machinery adapted to parasite host cell invasion
Similarly to what was observed in literature and experimentally in T. gondii, cystozoites of S. tenella display an apical vesicle in between the apical tip of the rhoptry neck and the plasma membrane, at the site of exocytosis. PCR=posterior preconoidal ring; co = conoid; Rh = rhoptry neck; m = micronemes; AV=apical vesicle. Bar is 0.2 µm. Representative of 2 experiments.
