  • Title: Fine structure of the tegument of Mesocestoides tetrathyridia by scanning and transmission electron microscopy.
    Author: Voge M, Sogandares-Bernal F, Martin JH.
    Journal: J Parasitol; 1979 Aug; 65(4):562-7. PubMed ID: 512753.
    Abstract:
    The tegumental surface of tetrathyridial stages of the tapeworm, Mesocestoides corti, was studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Two structural types of microvilli were observed--blade-shaped or conical ones, and elongated, slender microvilli. The distribution and relative frequency of the two types of microvilli differs in different areas of the body surface. Host peritoneal cells were observed attached to the blade-shaped microvilli by slender cytoplasmic projections.
