Abstract
The spatial relationship between the musculature and the NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d) activity, 5-HT and FMRFamide immunoreactivities in redia, cercaria and adult Echinoparyphium aconiatum was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), NADPH-d histochemistry, immunocytochemistry, and confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM). TRITC-conjugated phalloidin was used to stain the musculature. Staining for NADPH-d was observed in the central (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) of all three stages. NADPH-d positive nerves occurred very close to muscle fibres. 5-HT-immunoreactive (5-HT-IR) nerve cells and fibres occurred in the CNS and PNS and close to muscle fibres. FMRFamide-IR nerve fibres were observed in the CNS and PNS of adult worms. This is the first time, the presence of the NADPH-d has been demonstrated in the larval as well as the adult stages of a fluke.Entities:
