Abstract
Transmission electron microscopy of the scolex of the 8-day-old Hymenolepis diminuta cysticercoid demonstrates its resemblance to the scolex of the adult. A syncytial tegument composed of external and internal layers is connected by cytoplasmic extensions. Fully developed microtriches are present. Furthermore, a basement membrane, muscle layers, and medullary region containing flame cells, nerve tissue, and other cell bodies are observed. Of particular interest is the presence of discrete sensory endings whose function is discussed.Entities:
