Abstract
The sporozoites of Plasmodium parasites undergo several transmigrations before their establishment in the hepatocytes of a vertebrate host. Techniques that illustrate parasite intra-vital migration and their interaction with host cells will advance the understanding of parasite biology. In a recent publication, Amino et al. provided a detailed protocol for in vivo imaging of Plasmodium berghei sporozoites in the dermis. The report has important implications in the dissection of malaria parasite biology.
