Ultrastructure of the Schistosoma mansoni cercaria

Micron, 2002
The cercaria of the schistosome parasite is a short-lived, free-swimming larval stage that is infective for the mammalian, definitive host. This atlas describes the ultrastructure of the cells that comprise the cercaria of Schistosoma mansoni, a leading causative agent of human schistosomiasis.

Schistosoma mansoni: Eicosanoid production by cercariae

Experimental Parasitology, 1985
Cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni are stimulated to penetrate skin by certain free fatty acids. The cercariae have an active arachidonate cascade, presumably using host skin essential fatty acids as cascade precursors. Exposing cercariae to 3.3 mM linoleate for 1, 10, and 60 min resulted in production of a wide variety of eicosanoids.

Studies on the Formation and Function of Mucoid Glands in Cercariae: Opisthorchoid Cercariae

The Journal of Parasitology, 1953
In the present study four species of opisthorchoid cercariae are included: the cercariae of Euryhelmis monorchis Ameel, 1938 (Heterophyinae), Caecincola parvulus Marshall and Gilbert, 1905 (Cryptogoniminae), and two as yet undescribed species. Euryhelmis monorchis was obtained from Pomatiopsis lapidaria: Caecincola parvulus from Amnicola (Marstonia ...

Schistosoma mansoni: Cercaria to Schistosomule

1974
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the cercaria-schistosomule development of Sclzistosoma mansoni. The characteristic features of embryonic and emerged cercariae and of schistosomules are closely compared and contrasted in respect of tegument, glycocalyx, and tegumentary spines, sensory papillae, nerves and muscle, secretory cells, digestive ...

Cercaria donecerca n. sp. (Gorgoderid Cercaria) from Musculium partumeium (Say), 1822

The Journal of Parasitology, 1939
In the examination of 37 clams, Musculium partumeiuzm, two have been found infected with a new species of gorgoderid cercaria for which the name Cercaria donecerca2 n. sp. is proposed. The clams were collected from a small pond near Cold Spring on Hudson, N. Y., in June, 1938. The infected clams have each produced about fifteen to twenty-five cercariae

[Mucoid glands of Cercaria baushii 6 (Xiphidiocercariae: Cercariae microcotylae)].

Parazitologiia, 2013
Mucoid glands of Cercaria baushii 6 (Xiphidiocercariae: Cercariae microcotylae Luhe, 1909) were examined. Gland cells differ from each other in the time of differentiation and in size. A brief sketch on the morphology of parthenites is also given.

SCHISTOSOME CERCARIA IN ONTARIO

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1961
Cercariae of Schistosomatium douthitti (Cort, 1914) Price, 1931 have been obtained from 92 of 2474 Lymnaea stagnalis appressa Say and Lymnaea palustris elodes Say collected from nine locations in central and western Ontario from 1957 to 1960. This is believed to be the first published record of the occurrence in Canada of this schistosome dermatitis ...
