Sesquiterpenes evaluation on Schistosoma mansoni : Survival, excretory system and membrane integrity

“…To gain information about S. mansoni biology, studies for measuring the excretory system activity, such as transmembrane signaling and metabolites secretion, are performed through sensitive methods such as fluorescence microscopy technics, using specific markers, making it an attractive target for new drug trials [14][15][16].…”
