| ultrastructural studies of the cysticercoid of moniezia expansa (anoplocephalidae) with special reference to the development of the cyst. | cysticercoids of the sheep tapeworm moniezia expansa have been grown in oribatid mites in the laboratory. three species of mite became infected: xenillus tegeocranus, platynothrus peltifer and euzetes globulus, the latter not previously recorded as a host of anoplocephalines. cysticercoids aged 15 and 28 weeks were examined with the electron microscope. four distinct types of cells were found in the 15-week cysticercoid. subsequent cyst development involves a transformation from a cellular to a ... | 1976 | 1258526 |
