Abstract
SUMMARYObservations have been made on the ultrastructure of objects identified as ovarian balls from femaleMoniliformisafter 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 days in the rat. Similar objects are present in the body cavity of female cystacanths from cockroaches. The ovarian balls from 1-day-old worms are formed of several cells which are enclosed within a surface coat. During development, the ovarian balls increase in size and cell number and the internal organization appears to become more complex. After 9 days of development in the rat, the surface coat of the ovarian balls can no longer be observed and microvilli are present. It also appears that the supporting syncytium has been formed by this time.
