Scanning electron microscopy of promastigotes of L. amazonensis treated with AEPa from Physalis angulata after incubation for 3 days. a Control. b Parasites after treatment with 50 μg/mL AEPa. Observe the flagellum and cell doubling in apparent atypical cell division, and multi-septation of the cell body (arrows). c and d Parasites after treatment with 100 μg/mL AEPa. Observe reduction in the parasite body, multi-septation of the cell body (white arrows) and of the flagellum. Note the presence of cellular debris around parasite (arrows). Bars: (a) 3 μm (b-d) 1.5 μm
