Fig 7. Damaged dorsal surface of S. mansoni adult female worms exposed to NJ05 or NJ07.

Fig 7

Female worms were exposed for 2 days to 25 μM NJ05 (panels 5–8), 25 μM NJ07 (panels 9–12) or to vehicle (0.1% DMSO) (panels 1–4) and were observed by scanning electron microscopy; note that the size scale bar is shown within the black thin line below each image. panel 1: Low magnification image of female control worm (Bar = 500 μm). panels 2 to 4: Images of female control worms dorsal region, with normal structural appearance (Bar = 40 μm; 10 μm and 4 μm); panel 5: Low magnification image of female worm exposed to NJ05 (Bar = 500 μm); panels 6 to 8: Middle dorsal region of female presented apparent surface damage with peeling of the tegument membrane (Bar = 50 μm; 10 μm and 5 μm); panel 9: Low magnification image of female worm exposed to NJ07 (Bar = 500 μm); panels 10 to 12: Dorsal region of female worm presented bubbles along the tegument (Bar = 30 μm; 10 μm and 4 μm). p: peeling; la: lesion area; b: blebs.
