Abstract

Neurons immunoreactive to small cardiac peptide B (SCPb) occur in the scolex and neck region of adult Diphyllobothrium dendriticum. The localisation of the SCPb-IR neurons in the peripheral nervous system is very pronounced; they are closely associated to the bothridial musculature in the scolex. SCPb-IR neurons were not observed in plerocercoid larvae but appeared after cultivation in vitro at 37 degrees C for 30 h. Functional and developmental aspects of the SCPb-IR neurons are discussed.
