Figure 1. In vivo experiment protocol.

Overview of the experimental flow of the anti-echinococcal effect of drug candidates using mice with primary E. multilocularis infection. BALB/c mice were orally administered 300 eggs prepared from the feces of an E. multilocularis-infected dog (Experiment A, n = 10; Experiment B, n = 5). The images show typical cysts observed in an untreated mouse liver. (A) Cysts appear as small white dots on the liver. (B) Cysts are indicated by arrows.
