[Electron microscopic and morphometric investigations of the integument of Acanthocephala (Aschelminthes) (author's transl)]. 1978

K Graeber, and V Storch

The integument of the acanthocephalans Echinorhynchus gadi, Acanthocephalus lucii, Polymorphus minutus and Macracanthorhynchus hirudinaceus have been investigated by stereoscan and transmission electron microscopy. The absorptive surface is considerably increased by invaginations of the outer plasma membrane (pore canals and vesicles). The rate of this enlargement has been calculated using morphometric methods. The values range from 20 to 62. The values are compared to values obtained from other gutless parasitic helminths and from the free-living rotifers which are presumably to be regarded as closely related to the acanthocephalans.

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
