Interpretation of hemispindle and full mitotic spindle development in Plasmodium from TEM. Images of mitosis during sporogony in P. berghei. Interpretation of hemispindle and full mitotic spindle development in Plasmodium from TEM. Images of mitosis during sporogony in P. berghei. (A) A single hemispindle. (B) Hemispindle duplication. (C) Formation of a full mitotic spindle. Microtubules (F and F.C.), MTOCs (c.c.), and kinetochores (k) are indicated. p, nuclear pore; e.n., nuclear envelope; s, cystplasmic satellite; P, bridge of dense material; N, nucleus.
