  • Title: The histopathology of Neoechinorhynchus hutchinsoni Datta, 1936 (Neoacanthocephala): Neoechinorhynchidae) infection in Nemacheilus kashmirensis Hora.
    Author: Raina MK, Koul PL.
    Journal: J Helminthol; 1984 Jun; 58(2):165-8. PubMed ID: 6747260.
    Abstract:
    Histopathological studies of Neoechinorhynchus hutchinsoni infection in Nemacheilus kashmirensis show partial or complete damage of the host intestinal wall, depending upon the degree of penetration. Increased number of goblet cells are seen at the site of unperforated wounds but where the intestinal wall is completely perforated the goblet cells were undifferentiated. The parasite destroys the mucosa, lamina propria, muscle layer and serosa leading to perforation. This report of perforation by Neoechinorhynchus hutchinsoni is the first in the genus Neoechinorhynchus.
