The fine structure of the cyst wall of the metacercaria of Fasciola hepatica
نویسنده
چکیده
Observations with the electron microscope have shown that 4 major layers can be distinguished in the cyst wall: (a) an outer tanned-protein layer, consisting of a meshwork of irregular bodies made up of cigar-shaped particles; (b) a predominantly mucopolysaccharide, finely-fibrous layer, closely adherent to the tanned layer; (c) an inner, mainly mucopolysaccharide layer, which can be resolved into two layers differing in fine texture; (rf) a dense, compact layer, composed of numerous protein sheets stabilized by disulphide linkages. This layer is formed from tightly wound scrolls, developed in intracellular vacuoles, which are unrolled at the surface of the animal after secretion.

Molecular differentiation of sheep and cattle isolates of Fasciola hepatica using RAPD-PCR
Understanding genetic structure and status of genetic variation of Fasciola hepatica isolates from different hosts, has important implications on epidemiology and effective control of fasciolosis. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD-PCR) was used to study the genetic variation of F. hepatica in sheep and cattle. DNA was extracted from adult helminthes removed from livers of each infected ani...

Molecular detection of the infection with Fasciola hepatica in field-collected snails of Galba truncatula and Lymnaea stagnalis from West Azarbaijan, Iran
The liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, is considered as the most common cause of fasciolosis in both domestic livestock and human. This study was carried out to detect the prevalence of the larval stages of F. hepatica in the snails Galba truncatula and Lymnaea stagnalis in West Azarbaijan, Iran. Snail collection was performed through searching 28 freshwater habitats from May to December 2010. Fol...
متن کاملDetermination of somatic and excretory-secretory antigens of Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica using SDS-PAGE
Human fascioliasis due to unknown species and animal fascioliasis caused by both or one of Fasciola spp. are commonly seen in Iran. To compare electrophoretic patterns of somatic and excretory-secretory antigens of F. hepatica and F. gigantica by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), the adult flukes were collected from infected slaughtered bovine livers. E/S a...
