Morphology of the reproductive organs from Schistosoma japonicium couples treated with dsRNAs of Sj-riok-2 and/or Sj-plk-1. Whole mount preparations of non-treated worms (a, e, i, m), Sj-riok-2 dsRNA-treated worms (b, f, j, n), Sj-plk-1 dsRNA- treated worms (c, g, k, o) and Sj-riok-2 plus Sj-plk-1 dsRNA doubly-treated worms (d, h, l, p) were observed by confocal scanning laser microscope. Abbreviations: o, ovary; imo, immature oocytes; mo, mature oocytes; v, vitellarium; vtd, vitelloduct; ut, uterus; t, testes; sv, sperm vesicle. Scale-bars: 100 μm
