Vitellogenesis of diphyllobothriidean cestodes (Platyhelminthes)
Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2015 The recently erected cestode order Diphyllobothriidea is unique among all tapeworm orders in that its species infect all major groups of tetrapods, including man. In the present paper, the vitellogenesis of representatives of all three currently recognized families of this order was evaluated, based on ultrastructural (transmission
