Fig. 1 in Molecular confirmation of Hymenolepis hibernia in field mice (Apodemus sylvaticus) from St Kilda has potential to resolve a host-parasite relationship

Fig. 1. Examples of cyclophyllidean tapeworms and eggs recovered from Apodemus sylvaticus viscera and faeces. A: Unarmed scolex of an intact tapeworm - mouse 5. B: Anoplocephalid tapeworm egg - mouse 8. C: Hymenolepidid egg cropped without changing dimensions from the same image as B, for comparison - mouse 8. D: Anoplocephalid tapeworm egg - mouse X (faeces from a cleat). E: Anoplocephalid onchosphere released after squashing an egg under a cover slip - mouse X (faeces from a cleat). F: Tapeworm from mouse 8 (scolex not intact). G: hymenolepidid tapeworm egg - mouse X (faeces from a cleat). H: Hexacanth onchosphere surrounded by an onchospheral membrane and inner zone of the embryophore, which has swollen, having been released from the egg shell by squashing under a cover slip - mouse 9. I: Hymenolepidid tapeworm egg - mouse 7. J: Hexacanth onchosphere surrounded by an intact onchospheral membrane and inner and outer zones of the embryophore, being released from a cracked egg shell by squashing under a cover slip - mouse 7. K: Hymenolepidid tapeworm egg - mouse 8. L: Hexacanth onchosphere surrounded by an onchospheral membrane and inner zone of the embryophore, which has swollen, having been released from the egg shell by squashing under a cover slip - mouse 8.
