Abstract
The embryophore (inner capsule) of the tapeworm Shipleya inermis was studied with histochemistry and electron microscopy. It was found to be unique for the cestodes in that it has a laminated construction. During development lamina are added until there are 10 which are arranged in an irregular zig-zag pattern. The embryophore is positive to tests for acid and alkaline phosphatase, and the Hales test for acid mucopolysaccharides. Permeability of tapeworm egg coverings is discussed.Entities:
