SINGH M., KANAGASUNTHERAM R., Ho B.-C., YAP E.-H. and CHAN H.-L. 1975. Some aspects of the fine structure of the nervous system of the infective larva of Breinliu sergenti (Nematoda: Filarioidea). International Journalfor Parasitology 5: 165-170. The fine structure of some nervous elements of the infective larva of Breinliu sergenti has been studied. Both clear nerve cells and neurosecretory cells producing dense spherical vesicles and dense-cored vesicles have also been observed. A description of the nerve terminals and synaptic junctions in the nerve ring area is given. The possible role of the dense vesicles in this parasitic stage is discussed. INDEX
