FIG. 4.

Scanning electron microscopy images of T. cruzi trypomastigotes treated with S1, S2, S3, or megazol for 24 h. (a) Untreated parasites display normal morphology and surface topology. (b) S1 at 5.3 μM led to rounding of the parasite's body (arrows). (c) S2 at 11.6 μM induced shrinkage of the cell surface (arrow) and body (thick arrow) and shortening of the flagellum (arrowhead). (d) S3 at 17 μM caused rounding of parasites (arrows). (e) Megazol at 9.9 μM led to torsion (asterisk) and rounding (arrow) of the body of the parasites and shortening of the flagellum (arrowhead). Bars: 4 μm.
