Parasitic Platyhelminths

  • Chapter
Biology of the Integument

Abstract

The last 20 years have seen a revolution in our understanding of the structure, chemistry and function of both larval and adult forms of parasitic platyhelminths. This revolution has been due in large part to ultrastructural studies combined with allied techniques such as cyto- and histochemistry, autoradiography, immunology, and biochemistry. The significance and extent of that revolution is nowhere better illustrated than by the discoveries made on the structure, chemistry, and function of the helminth tegument. Studies of this tissue were in the forefront of the “new parasitology” and they led to some of the most unexpected and enlightening revelations made over the last half-century concerning parasite structure and the host-parasite interface.
