Studies on the biology of the tapeworm Dioecocestus acotylus with emphasis on the oogenotop (original) (raw)
Summary
The constituent parts of the oogenotop are described using certain histochemical tests. Early egg formation and the contribution of the various parts of the female system are followed. The development of the oncosphere and its membranes is discussed. Sperm formation and insemination are described.
Zusammenfassung
Untersuchung der Biologie des Bandwurms Dioecocestus acotylus mit besonderer Berücksichtigung des Oogenotops. Mit Hilfe histochemischer Methoden wurde der Aufbau des Oogenotops untersucht und beschrieben. Frühe Eibildung und Beteiligung verschiedener Anteile des weiblichen Geschlechtsapparates werden anschließend behandelt. Ferner werden die Spermatozoenentwicklung sowie die Besamung beschrieben. Abschließend folgt eine Diskussion über die Entwicklung der Oncosphära und ihrer Membranen.
