Figure 6

Effect of selected fractions on nuclei and kinetoplasts in T. brucei. Two hundred and forty cells were counted to determine effects of selected fractions on number of nuclei and kinetoplasts using fluorescence microscopy. P values were calculated from 3 distinct counts (P < 0.05). ZR=Z. zanthoxyloides LZT, root; FD=Dichloromethane fraction; FM=Methanol fraction; CN=Negative control. K=Kinetoplast; N=nucleus; X and Y=variables (X>2, Y>4).
