Ultrastructure of the spermatozoon of the diphyllobothriidean cestode Cephalochlamys namaquensis (Cohn, 1906)

Original language description

This contribution provides the first ultrastructural and cytochemical data on the mature spermatozoon of a diphyllobothriidean cestode belonging to the family Cephalochlamydidae. The mature spermatozoon of Cephalochlamys namaquensis (Cohn, 1906), a parasite of the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis (Daudin, 1802), from southern California, USA, has been examined using transmission electron microscopy and cytochemical staining with periodic acid-thiosemicarbazide-silver proteinate for glycogen. The malegamete is a filiform cell tapered at both extremities. Its moderately electron-dense cytoplasm possesses two parallel axonemes of unequal lengths with a 9 + "1" trepaxonematan pattern, a nucleus, parallel cortical microtubules, four electron-dense plaques/attachment zones, and electron-dense granules of glycogen. The crested body is absent. The anterior extremity of the cell exhibits a centriole surrounded by a semiarc of four parallel cortical microtubules. The number of cortical micro
