Extract

Erythrocytes of Tropidurus torquatus (Sauria, Iguanidae) infected with Plasmodium (Sauramoeba) tropiduri show acid phosphatase activity in Golgi vesicles, multivesicular bodies, secondary lysosomes and autophagic vacuoles. The functional relations between these structures and exocytotic activity is discussed.

The authors express their gratitude to: Professor A. G. E. Pearse for his helpful criticism of the work and during the preparation of the revised manuscript; to Professor P. C. C. Garnham for his advice and for his provision of facilities. We are also indebted to Mr Ian McLure for his help in translating the original Spanish into English.
