Photographs of intestinal sections from different treatment groups. Staining: hematoxylin and eosin (H&E); magnification: ×100. Blue arrows indicate inflammatory cells rich in eosinophils, red arrows indicate damaged mucosa, and black arrows point to the restoration of intestinal villi. a Disrupted fragmented intestinal mucosa of infected, non-treated mice showing numerous accumulations of inflammatory cells. b, c Sensitized (b) (groupIIAb) and non-sensitized (c) (group IAb) mice treated with albendazole, showing a moderately improved intestinal epithelium with abundant inflammatory cells. d, e Sensitized (group IIAc) (d) and non-sensitized (e) (group IAc) mice treated with MCS, showing mild inflammatory reaction and moderately disturbed intestinal epithelium. f, g Sensitized (f) (group IIAd) and non-sensitized (g) (group IAd) mice treated with combined therapy, showing very mild inflammatory reaction and an almost healthy intestinal epithelium
