S.E.M. observations on plerocercus larvae of Floriceps saccatus Cuvier, 1817 and Molicola horridus (Goodsir, 1841) (Cestoda; Trypanorhyncha) from sunfish (Mola mola)
Main Article Content
Abstract
A topographic description of the plerocercus larva of Floriceps saccatus is given. The larva was found to be covered by palmate or paw-like microtriches, not only on the adherent surface of the bothridia as earlier described from adult trypanorhynch cestodes, but all over the plerocercus down to the region of pars proliferus. In the latter region ‘normal’ cestode microtriches were observed. On the surface of the plerocercus larva of Molicola horridus, however, no structure or microtriches were observed due to a true invagination of the scolex part of the larva.
