  • Title: Functional significance of non-specific esterase and its involvement in the excretory mechanism of trematodes, cestodes and nematodes.
    Author: Gupta AN, Sood PP.
    Journal: Acta Morphol Neerl Scand; 1975 Nov; 13(3):219-26. PubMed ID: 1211226.
    Abstract:
    The distribution of non-specific esterase in the excretory canals of nematodes, cestodes and trematodes is described. In all the cases the excretory canals are intensely positive, except in Dioecocestus fevita where the reaction is mild. In most of the cases the reaction is observed in the form of small granules, distributed throughout the canal. The distribution of the enzyme has been correlated with the excretory functions of these parasites.
