Abstract
Using transmission electron microscopy, transverse dense bands were fo und to be associated with subpellicular microtubules and inner membran es in Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes. These dense bands may act as supportive structures to maintain the parallel arrangement of the micr otubules, and/or to connect them to the inner membranes.
