Adult S. mansoni exposed to 100 μM Fc-OXA incubated for 4 h. a Tissue sloughing from the lateral side of the mid-part of the body of a male and exposure of sub-tegumental tissue. b Mid-part of the body of a male showing the lateral side with ruptures, the gynaecophoric canal and ruptured tissue on the other side of the canal. c Blebs and ruptures in the inner side of the gynaecophoric canal, mid-part of the body. d Upper part of the body of a female showing tissue sloughing off and blebs on the tegument and ventral sucker. Abbreviations: B, blebs; GC, gynaecophoric canal; R, rupturing; S, sloughing off; VS, ventral sucker. Scale-bars: a, b, d, 50 μm; c, 20 μm
