Surface ultrastructure of the adult stage of Acanthotrema felis (Trematoda: Heterophyidae).
The surface ultrastructure of Acanthotrema felis (Trematoda: Heterophyidae) adults, recovered from a kitten experimentally infected with the metacercariae, was observed using a scanning electron microscope. The worm was leaf-like, ventrally concave and covered with scale-like multi-pointed tegumental spines. The spines on the anterior surface were short but broad, and had 10-12 pointed tips. Th...
متن کاملSurface ultrastructure of excysted metacercariae of Haplorchis taichui (Trematoda: Heterophyidae).
The morphology of newly excysted juvenile Haplorchis taichui was studied using a light and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The reproductive organs were well developed. The whole body surface was covered with numerous transverse rows of scale-like spines, which had 3-11 points at the tip. The spines on the dorsal were similar with those on the ventral surfaces in shape, size and number of ...
متن کاملIdentification of Acanthotrema felis (Digenea: Heterophyidae) metacercariae encysted in the brackish water fish Acanthogobius flavimanus.
The metacercariae of Acanthotrema felis Sohn et al., 2003 (Digenea: Heterophyidae) were discovered in a species of the brackish water fish, Acanthogobius flavimanus, in the Republic of Korea. They were experimentally fed to kittens, and adult flukes were harvested 7 days later. The adults were morphologically characterized by the presence of a bipartite seminal vesicle, the ventral sucker assoc...
متن کاملSurface ultrastructure of Pygidiopsis summa (Digenea: Heterophyidae) adult flukes.
A scanning electron microscopic study was performed on the surface ultrastructure of Pygidiopsis summa (Digenea: Heterophyidae) adults. Metacercariae were collected from gills and muscles of mullets (Mugil cephalus) caught in a known endemic area, and adult flukes were harvested from dogs after 8 weeks of experimental infection. The worm was calabash form with its posterior part broader than th...
متن کاملFour Human Cases of Acanthotrema felis (Digenea: Heterophyidae) Infection in Korea
Acanthotrema felis is an intestinal trematode of cats originally reported from the Republic of Korea. Only 1 human case infected with a single adult worm has been previously recorded. In the present study, we report 4 human cases infected with a total of 10 worms recovered after anthelmintic treatment and purging. All 4 patients reside in coastal areas of Jeollanam-do, Korea, and have consumed ...
