Morphological effects of praziquantel, tribendimidine, albendazole and quinine on Newly excysted larvae (NEL). Pictures taken after 72 hrs of exposure to (A) praziquantel (B) tribendimidine, (C) albendazole and (D) quinine, at a concentration of 30 μg/ml for tribendimidine, albendazole and quinine and 10 μg/ml for praziquantel. Image (E) shows a healthy NEL cultured in medium only. The bubbles surrounding the NEL in the albendazole image are an artifact due to the NEL being pressed by the glass slip and not due to drug effect. Figure (F) shows a NEL from the control well and an empty metacercarial shell.
