Figure 6From: Stem cell proliferation during in vitro development of the model cestode Mesocestoides corti from larva to adult wormHistological detection of mitoses in colchicine treated specimens stained with ethidium bromide (red) and/or DAPI (blue). A. Sagittal section of the region directly behind the suckers. Anterior is to the bottom. B. Sagittal section of early genital primordium. The inset shows a general view of the same specimen. C. Close-up of germinative cells in the body of a tetrathyridium. D, E, F, G. Close-up of mitotic figures stained only with DAPI. Arrows in all figures indicate mitotic cells. cp, cortical parenchyma; g, germinative cells; gp, genital primordium; iml, inner muscle layer; m, dorso-ventral muscle cell; mp, medullary parenchyma; p, parenchymal cell; st, sub-tegument; t, tegument. Bars represent 10 μm.Back to article page
