Fig. 3From: Ultrastructural studies on effect of Caesalpinia bonducella and Croton joufra, traditionally used anthelmintics, on Hymenolepis diminuta and Syphacia obvelataScanning electron micrographs of adult S. obveleta. a Control worm in apical view showing three lips with cephalic vesicles, anterior cervical alae and disposition of sub median cephalic papillae; b, c Control worm representing fine transverse striations in cuticle; d–f worms exposed to albendazole (5 mg/ml) representing a close cephalic end and distorted tegument; g–i worms exposed to C. bonducella (30 mg/ml) leaves extract showing damaged apical end and cuticular disruption; j–l worms exposed to C. joufra leaves extract (30 mg/ml) showing damaged apical region and loss of cephalic papillaeBack to article page
