  • Title: [Ultrastructural study of spermiogenesis in Acanthobothrium filicolle var. filicolle Zschokke, 1988 (Cestoda, Tetraphyllidea, Onchobothriidae)].
    Author: Mokhtar-Maamouri F.
    Journal: Ann Parasitol Hum Comp; 1982; 57(5):429-42. PubMed ID: 7181375.
    Abstract:
    The spermiogenesis of the Onchobothriidae Tetraphyllidea A. filicolle filicolle is similar to that of the other Onchobothriidae. In this study, it is proved that: --the longitudinal displacement of the axonemes seen in the spermatozoon results from the sliding of one of the two axonemes during spermiogenesis. --the basal bodies and their attached rootlets which appear in the early spermiogenesis are enclosed within the spermatozoon body. --the crested like body indicates the extremity from which the spermatozoon detaches from residual cytoplasm. The origin of cortical microtubules and the gutter-like arranged ones near the axoneme, is discussed.
