Electron microscopy images of B. bovis-infected RBCs.
Scanning electron microscopy (A) and TEM (B) and (C) of B. bovis-iRBC binding to bovine brain endothelial cells. Membranous structures are seen in the TEM image and indicated by a white arrow. The red arrows show the ridges mediating binding of iRBCs to endothelial cells. Scale bar = 1 μm. iRBC, infected RBC; RBC, red blood cell; TEM, transmission electron microscopy.
