| Abstract: | <p> Previous studies dealing with the structure and function of the attachment organs in the strigeid trematodes have neglected to describe the processes involved in the formation of attachment. A knowledge of these processes is necessary to promote the understanding of the host-parasite relationship. </p> <p> In the present study, specimens of developing Cotylurus variegatus were examined using light and electron microscopic techniques. It seemed relevant to consider not only the sequence of attachment events, but the growth and structure of the attachment organs in relation to the total parasite body growth and structure. This of course, has led to considerations of the reputative functions of these structures. </p> |
