Abstract

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to study the morphological alteration occurring in Habronema muscae adult female worms after in vitro exposure to different doses of Verbesina alternifolia oil extract. The half maximal lethal concentration (LC50) was reached 400 ppm after 24hrs, while LC100 was reached 600 ppm after 48hrs. Irreversible degenerative changes were recorded such as shrinking, detachment and distortion of the cuticle, cephalic and distal region. The cuticular surface had a wrinkled, corrugated appearance with longitudinal ridges and transverse thick folds. The lips and papillae were deformed and aggregated over each other. There is a direct relation between the level of the recorded degenerative changes and the increase in the dose and exposure time. In the same time no degen'erative changes were recorded in the control worm exposed to PBS till the end of the exposure period.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
