SEM images of S. mansoni control worms incubated with 1% DMSO. a Tubercles of dorsal mid-part of a male. b Lateral mid-part of a male showing the transition between the tubercles of the dorsal side to the spiny ridges of the ventral side of the body. c Head of a male showing the oral and ventral suckers and the gynaecophoric canal. d Mid-part of the body of a female showing the ridges and pores in a context of a smooth tegument. Abbreviations: GC, gynaecophoric canal; OS/VS, oral/ventral sucker; P, pores; R, ridges; S, spines; T, tubercles. Scale-bars: a, 10 μm; b, 20 μm; c, 200 μm; d, 50 μm
