Effect of Temperature and Ionic Substitutions on the Tegumental Potentials of Protoscoleces of <i>Echinococcus granulosus</i>

Effect of Temperature and Ionic Substitutions on the Tegumental Potentials of Protoscoleces of <i>Echinococcus granulosus</i>

The protoscolex (PSC) is generated by asexual reproduction at the larval stage of taeniid <i>Echinococcus granulosus</i> that causes cystic echinococcosis or hydatidosis, a worldwide zoonosis. The PSC is enveloped by a complex cellular syncytial tegument responsible for ionic movements a...
