Abstract
The intraerythrocytic parasites of Plasmodium falciparum are surrounded by a parasitophorous vacuolar membrane (PVM) that plays an important role both in parasite nutrient acquisition and in the trafficking of parasite proteins to the host cell membrane. This article proposes a hypothesis for an additional function of the PVM in the biogenesis of haemozoin crystals in the cytostomal pathway.
