Dipylidium caninum, Echinococcus granulosus and Hydatigera taeniaeformis: Histochemical identification of cholinesterases
32
TL;DR: The nervous systems of the tapeworms Dipylidium caninum, Echinococcus granulosus and Hydatigera taeniaeformis were stained by esterase techniques and it was concluded that there is an acetylcholinesterase in the three species examined.

Parasite Behaviour: Understanding Platyhelminth Responses
TL;DR: This chapter focuses on the importance of behavioral analyses to elucidate the mechanisms of orientation in the free-living stages of parasitic platyhelminths, where the ability to orient to specific cues is crucial.

Specific antibody responses to Taenia hydatigena, Taenia pisiformis and Echinococcus granulosus infection in dogs.
David Jenkins,Michael D. Rickard +1 more
TL;DR: There were cross-reactions between the serums from dogs infected with T. pisiformis and T. hydatigena when tested with scolex ES antigens, but oncospheral antIGens showed a high degree of species specificity.

Anatomy and development of the larval nervous system in Echinococcus multilocularis
TL;DR: It is proposed that the protoscolex nervous system could function as a neuroendocrine system, derived from the nervous system present in the bladder tissue of other taeniids, and be a necessary first step toward the understanding of the developmental mechanisms operating in these peculiar larval stages.

Peptidergic and aminergic neurons in adultDiphyllobothrium dendriticum Nitzsch, 1824 (Cestoda, Pseudophyllidea)
TL;DR: The peptidergic and aminergic neurons in adult Diphyllobothrium dendriticum were studied by light and electron microscopy, combined with fluorescence histochemistry (Falck-Hillarp method for biogenic amines) to indicate a possible interdependence between the two types of neurons.

Echinococcus granulosus: secretory activity of the rostellum of the adult cestode in situ in the dog.
TL;DR: Secretary activities associated with the rostellum of adult Echinococcus granulosus were studied using histological, histochemical, and ultrastructural techniques, following rapid fixation of the cestodes in situ in the small intestine of the anaesthetised dog.

Histochemical studies of the cestode Diphyllobothrium dendriticum Nitzsch, 1824
TL;DR: The increased enzyme activity in the scolex is related to the close host-parasite interface maintained by the bothria, and the low level of activity found generally in the plerocercoids is thought to be a consequence of the low temperatures prevailing in their cold-blooded host.

Histochemical demonstration of an acetylcholinesterase in the ova of Schistosoma mansoni.
TL;DR: An acetylcholinesterase has been demonstrated in the central nervous system of the miracidium of Schistosoma mansoni by using acetylthiocholine and O-acetyl-5-bromoindoxyl as substrates in association with inhibitors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the musculature and excretory and nervous systems of Cysticercus taeniae-taeniaeformis are described, and the nervous system consists often longitudinal nerve cords in the strobila and of a brain and complicated system of nerves in the scolex.

The nervous systems of Multicotyle purvisi Dawes, 1941 (Aspidogastrea) and Diaschistorchis multitesticularis Rohde, 1962 (Digenea): Implications for the ecology of the parasites
TL;DR: The nervous systems of adult and larval multicotyle trematodes have been investigated in this paper, showing that adults have more complicated nervous systems than those known from other trematode species.
