Labeling of Fal2-S2 transfectants with BODIPY-TR ceramide (BPY) at trophozoite stage. BODIPY-TR labels the erythrocyte membrane, PVM and food vacuole membrane. GFP fluorescence is seen overlapping with fluorescence by BODIPY-TR in the parasitophorous vacuole (arrowhead), trans vesicular network (panel II, pointed arrow) and in the food vacuolei
