Collection: Nervous and muscular systems of parasitic flatworms (Plathelminthes)

Species: Diplostomum pseudospathaceum Niewiadomska, 1984    Trematoda

Description: General view of a 22-day-old metacercaria of Diplostomum pseudospathaceum (Trematoda, Platyhelminthes) showing the musculature and substance P-immunoreactive nervous elements. The series shows nervous elements in the cerebral ganglia, in the anterior nerves innervating the oral sucker, in the ventral longitudinal nerve cords and in the neurons innervating the tegument and hindbody.
