Fig. 6From: In vitro and in vivo efficacy of thiacloprid against Echinococcus multilocularisIn vivo activity of thiacloprid against E. multilocularis metacestodes. Two weeks after infection of BALB/c mice with metacestode tissues, the mice received the intragastric administration of thiacloprid for 6 weeks. The positive control was 100 mg/kg ABZ. a The images of metacestodes resected from different treatment groups. b Parasite weight in different treatment groups. The data are presented as mean ± SD from seven independent experiments. c HE staining of E. multilocularis metacestodes from different treatment groups. Scale bar = 100 μm. LL: laminated layer; FT: fibrous tissue; Va: vacuole. d Laminated layer PAS staining. The section shows PAS-positive laminated layer of E. multilocularis metacestodes. Scale bar = 200 μmBack to article page
