Figure 1

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of adult Schistosoma mansoni: in vitro exposed adult to miltefosine showing: (A) distorted dorsal tegumental tubercles on the dorsal surface (T) (× 5000), (B) erosion of the tegumental surface (E) (× 3500), (C) higher magnification of (B) (× 7500), (D) appearance of subtegumental tissue (ST) (× 15000), (E) constriction at the posterior end of the worm (→) (× 350). Unexposed adult showing: (F) dorsal tegumental tubercle (T) of a normal male worm showing its spines (S) and papillae (P) (× 10000).
