Abstract
PDT was able to kill Schistosoma mansoni due to the significant amount of ROS released that inflicted damages in their tegument and excretory system, as well as muscle contraction and cessation of motility. The control groups lacked lesions, which were proved by the normal excretion of the Hoechst and Resorufin probes, whilst the PDT groups exhibited very high fluorescence, indicating malfunctioning and lesions to the excretory system.138
