Résumé
Striking morphological transformations characterize the invasion of a red blood cell by the malaria parasite. Shortly after the infection, parasite-induced membranes appear in the cytosol of the affected host erythrocyte. One intensely investigated membrane type, commonly called Maurer's clefts, has a slit-like morphology and can be arranged in the form of extended three-dimensional membrane stacks or networks. Here we report the three-dimensional reconstruction of a second membrane type, giant or extended membrane rings/loops, that have only occasionally been described on single ultrathin sections, however that have never been systematically examined so far. Serial ultrathin sectioning of P. falciparum-infected red blood cells, subsequent three-dimensional reconstructions, and in addition examination of Giemsa-stained blood films revealed that intraerythrocytic membrane rings/loops are not isolated structures but are locally in contact with the parasite. They consist either of the parasitophorous vacuolar membrane alone or contain the parasitophorous vacuolar membrane including the plasma membrane of the parasite and small amounts of parasite cytoplasm. We demonstrate that membrane rings/loops represent surface extensions of the parasite that maybe involved in ring stage parasite formation and Maurer's cleft generation at least in a subset of infected red blood cells.
