DESCRIPTION:A recent study reveals that the intraerythrocytic asexual repr
 oduction cycle of Plasmodium falciparum ends with the ruptured erythrocyte
  membrane curling outwards\, buckling\, everting and vesiculating. Analogy
  with the sequence seen during spontaneous inside-out vesiculation of eryt
 hrocyte membranes suggests that the parasite co-opts pre-existing cytoskel
 etal conformations to facilitate terminal merozoite dispersal.  In the tal
 k I will present extensive video material of the vesiculation and egress p
 rocesses
