Egg-shell formation in Isoparorchis hypselobagri
Zeitschrift Fur Parasitenkunde (Berlin, Germany)
|March 31, 1976
Abstract:
Egg-shell formation in Isoparorchis hypselobagri is descirbed. The egg-shell in Isoparorchis hypselobagri is colorless and transparent as in case of Diplodiscus mehrai (Madhavi, 1968). Eleven histochemical tests were used to elucidate the process and it was observed that the basic mechanism of egg-shell formation followed the quinone tanned system as all the three precursors i.e. proteins, phenols and phenolase were present in vitelline globules.
