Muscling in on Parasitic Flatworms
Parasitology Today, 1998The musculature of parasitic platyhelminths (monogeneans, digeneans and cestodes) presents an attractive target for chemotherapeutic intervention in that it is central to locomotory movement and attachment and serves an essential role in alimentation (feeding, translocation of food and digestive waste) and reproduction (insemination, egg formation and ...

Tetrodotoxins in the flatworm Planocera multitentaculata
Toxicon, 2022The marine polyclad flatworm Planocera multitentaculata is known to possess high levels of tetrodotoxin (TTX), but the presence of TTX analogues in the species has been unexplored. In this study, TTX and several analogues such as 5,6,11-trideoxyTTX, monodeoxyTTXs, dideoxyTTXs, and 11-norTTX-6(S)-ol were identified in three adults and egg plates of P ...

Marine Flatworms provides a fascinating introduction to the intriguing world of polyclad flatworms, a group of large, free-living marine Platyhelminthes, which are found throughout the world but are most colourful in tropical waters. Although not related to molluscs, they are often mistaken for sea slugs because of their brilliant colour patterns.

Journal of Biological Education, 1980
A school project to investigate aggregations in flatworms is described. It was found by a series of simple experiments that the formation of aggregations in the flatworm, Polycelis nigra, was influenced by light intensity, temperature, and some form of chemical stimulus released by already aggregating flatworms.

Monogenean parasitic flatworms
Current BiologyVanhove and colleagues introduce monogenean parasitic flatworms, a species-rich group of ectoparasitic flatworms that are mostly found on the skin, gills, or fins of fish and have a life cycle involving a single host.

Mitochondrial genomes of parasitic flatworms
Trends in Parasitology, 2002Complete or near-complete mitochondrial genomes are now available for 11 species or strains of parasitic flatworms belonging to the Trematoda and the Cestoda. The organization of these genomes is not strikingly different from those of other eumetazoans, although one gene (atp8) commonly found in other phyla is absent from flatworms.

Immunocytochemical localization of histamine in flatworms
Cell and Tissue Research, 1990Specific antibodies against histamine were used to demonstrate the occurrence and cellular distribution of histamine-like immunoreactivity in three species of flatworms (phylum Platyhelminthes). In the parasitic cestode Diphyllobothrium dendriticum, histamine-reactivity was found in neurons of the main nerve cords, and in cells lining the central and ...

Development Genes and Evolution, 2011
Wnt genes encode secreted glycoproteins that act in cell-cell signalling to regulate a wide array of developmental processes, ranging from cellular differentiation to axial patterning. Discovery that canonical Wnt/β-catenin signalling is responsible for regulating head/tail specification in planarian regeneration has recently highlighted their ...
