Scanning electron microscopic study of Mammomonogamus laryngeus

Surface structures, particularly numerous body sculptures of the nematode M. laryngeus recovered from cattle in Cuba were studied by scanning electron microscopy. New morphological structures in form of "granulations" were found of the mouth capsule. The structure of cuticle in region of vulva opening and of bursa cuticle was described in detail. It was found that even older preserved material of helminths can be used for SEM studies.
