Effect of amitozyn on the microtubules of Plasmodium falciparum. Human RBC at 2 % haematocrit were infected with 3G8 strain of P. falciparum. At 0.5 % parasitaemia infected RBC (iRBC) were treated with 30 μg/mL amitozyn for 24 h. Untreated iRBC were used as a control. Fixed iRBC were stained with anti-α-tubulin (green), anti-RBC (red) and DAPI (blue) and analysed by confocal microscopy. a Rings and b trophozoite stages of P. falciparum, respectively
