Spinning disk confocal microscopy of HepG2 cells expressing a fluorescent marker of the plasma membrane, N20-mCherry, showing egress of a GFP-expressing P. yoelii sporozoite from an mCherry-labeled  vacuole. Sporozoite egress occurs at 25 s and is followed by vacuole collapse. Scale bars, 10 μm. For additional details, see Risco-Castillo et al.
