Figure 6. QN treatment affected the gastrodermis of adult worms cultured in vitro.

Figure 6

TEM images of gastrodermis cross sections from adult females of S. mansoni cultured in vitro for six days. Panel A represents female worms treated with 0.1% ethanol for 48 h. Panel B represent female worms treated with 14.3 µM QN for 48 h. Panel C represents female worms treated with 14.3 µM QN for 72 h. GD-gastrodermis; LD- Lipid droplets; m- mitochondria; V-vacuoles. Asterisks indicate electron-dense particles within gastrodermis cells. Bars denote the scale in micrometers or nanometers.
