Fluorescence microscopy revealed that host cell mitochondria accumulated at the cytoplasmic surface of parasitophorous vacuoles and increased the dye uptake in the periparasitophorous vacuole as T. gondii multiplied. The changes of mitochondrial function and distribution probably reflect changes in cellular physiological conditions due to T. gondii infection.
