Fig. 3From: Methylene blue induced morphological deformations in Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes: implications for transmission-blockingMicroscopic images demonstrating morphological deformations in methylene blue treated early gametocytes (a–c) and late gametocytes (d–l). Deformations observed were in the form of (1) Shrinkage (2) Distortions (3) Membrane deformations, clearly representing unhealthy gametocytes (computer magnified image for better interpretation of morphology)Back to article page
