FIG. 1. A pellicular complex consisting of a parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM), a gametocyte plasmalemma (GPM), and an inner layer composed of two closely apposed membranes (IL). Bar, 0.1 ,uM.

FIG. 2. Immuno-gold labeling with human MAb 33G2. Gold particles are seen in the erythrocyte cytoplasm adjacent to the gametocyte.

Bar, 1 ,um. The inset shows a higher magnification. Gold particles are seen in the erythrocyte cytoplasm along the parasitophorous vacuolar membrane. Bar, 0.1 ,um.
