Ultrastructure of the scolex of Orygmatobothrium schmittii (Cestoda: Phyllobothriidea)

The ultrastructure of the scolex of Orygmatobothrium schmittii (Cestoda: Phyllobothriidae) was studied using histochemistry, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy. The central bothridial structure resulted in a glandulomuscular organ formed by a mass of syncytial glands and radial muscles,...
