Malaria parasite invades human blood cell: the video
:: Tags: Parasite, Science
A Plasmodium parasite invades a human blood cell, and is caught on video.
Jake Baum at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia, and colleagues used transmission electron microscopy and 3D immuno-fluorescence microscopy to record a series of still images during the 30-second-long invasion, and combined them into a movie.
Pretty cool.
