Abstract
AbstractEarly studies by light microscopy provided preliminary data on the fine structure of Strongylus vulgaris (Looss 1900). The present study employed transmission electron microscopy to investigate particular structures in the buccal capsule especially the dorsal gutter (DG) and teeth. The DG is a tube containing the terminal duct of the dorsal oesophageal gland (DOG) surrounded by two concentric canals. Putative pores indicated in the wall of the DG seen in other studies are revealed as honey-combed, fibrous, structures on each side of the ventral lamella. This lamella is formed by the wall of the DG internal canal running the length of the DG. Secretions of the DG canals are released through the dorsal gutter duct (DGD) which passes through the teeth bases at the base of the buccal capsule. Teeth have a vesicular cytoplasmic core containing various organelles.
