An ultrastructural study of the microtriches of adult Proteocephalus tidswelli (Cestoda: Proteocephalidea)

R C Thompson et al. Z Parasitenkd. 1980.

Abstract

Ultrastructural observations on adult Proteocephalus tidswelli revealed a marked microtrichial polymorphism. Structural and dimensional variations of microtriches between different regions of the strobila and scolex, as well as within the same region, were observed. The authors suggest that microtriches are involved in a diversity of functions, and possible functional activities are discussed.
