Electron microscopical studies of the cyst of 1-month-old H. diminuta larvae revealed considerable thickening of the superficial syncytium of tegument and formation of a large number of cavities and canals. The cytoplasm of the tegument is filled with microtubules produced by cytons of parenchymal
The distribution of neutral lipids and phospholipids in Hymenolepis microstoma has been studied using Fettrot, Sudan Black B, Sudan IV and copper phthalocyanin staining techniques. In the cysticercoid, neutral lipids are found in the outer membrane, the lining of the cysticercoid cavity, the
The intraperitoneal injection of excysted-activated cysticercoids of Hymenolepis nana and H. diminuta stimulates a protective immunity in mice and rats against an oral homologous challenge with different levels of effectiveness. The immunizing dose reduced only worm growth in the natural host (i.e.
Hymenolepis diminuta is a zoonotic cestode parasitizing the small intestine of rodents (definitive hosts). Humans can accidentally enter into the life cycle of this tapeworm via the ingestion of infected insects (intermediate hosts) containing cestode cysticercoids in their body cavity. More than
The in vivo activity of two cyclosporins, cyclosporin A (CsA) and a non-immunosuppressive derivative of dihydrocylosporin A (DHCsA-d) against three tapeworms, Hymenolepis microstoma, H. diminuta and Mesocestoides corti, has been assessed. CsA reversibly reduced the dry weight of H. microstoma in the
