Abstract

Plasmodium, the parasite responsible for malaria, has a highly specialized endomembrane system to support its life cycle. Beyond typical organelles like the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and Golgi apparatus, it features unique compartments such as micronemes, rhoptries, dense granules, and the parasitophorous vacuole, crucial for invading host cells and evading the immune system
