Effect of Different Terpene-Containing Essential Oils on the Proliferation of Echinococcus granulosus Larval Cells
Figure 4
Scanning electron microscopy of E. granulosus larval cell aggregates incubated in vitro with different essential oils. (a) and (c) Control cell aggregates exhibiting the typical tridimensional organization. (b) Cell aggregates incubated with 10 μg/mL of R. officinalis essential oil for 7 days. (d) Cell aggregates incubated with 10 μg/mL of M. piperita essential oil for 7 days. Note the loss of the typical multicellular structure. Bar = (a) and (b) 10 μm, (c) and (d) 5 μm.
