Effect of Phenotypic Screening of Extracts and Fractions of Erythrophleum ivorense Leaf and Stem Bark on Immature and Adult Stages of Schistosoma mansoni

Figure 6

Examples of adult S. mansoni males after exposure to 1.25 μg/mL of E. ivorense methanol bark extract fractions. (a) Control worms (each worm is approximately 500 to 700 μm long); (b) damaged worms in the presence of the 50% v/v methanol fraction after 24 h. Note the marked darkening and the damage (blebbing) to the tegumental surface.
