Abstract:
The histochemistry of the hydatid cyst wall of E. granulosus from goat and sheep were studied. The cyst wall contains a carbohydrate-protein substrate complex, collagen and possibly calcium. Calcium is also reported in protoscolices of hydatid sand. Tegumental projections on free brood capsules and protoscolices were viewed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the tegument of protoscolices was revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
