Adult S. haematobium exposed to 100 μM Fc-OXA for 48 h. a Dorsal mid-part of the body of a male showing early rupturing around the tubercles. b Tegument sloughing at the dorsal mid-part of the body and the gynaecophoric canal. c Blebs on the dorsal mid-part of the body of a male. d Tegument of a female showing normal ridges and papillae, but also pores; pores seem to be present in higher quantity than in the control group. Abbreviations: B, blebs; GC, gynaecophoric canal; P, papillae; Po, pores; R, rupturing; S, sloughing off. Scale-bars: a, 50 μm; b, 200 μm; c, 20 μm; d, 30 μm
