MyoA-GFP expression and glideosome complex formation during the late stages of intracellular development of P. falciparum in the red blood cell. MyoA-GFP expression was detected by live fluorescence microscopy and the nuclei were detected by staining with DAPI. The merged colour image with MyoA-GFP (green) and DAPI (blue) and differential interference contrast (DIC) bright field images are also shown. Schizogony starts at around 30 hours post-invasion and MyoA-GFP is detected from 38–40 hours in multinucleated forms. Scale bar: 2 μm.
