Tóm tắt

SUMMARYWith the exception of gudgeon (Gobio gobio) infection of cyprinid fish with the plerocercoid of Ligula intestinalis is associated with a host-tissue response. The nature and specificity of this response has been investigated using transplantation techniques. In roach there is an intense cellular response to implanted Sepharose, Spurr's resin and L. intestinalis, irrespective of donor host species. However, tegument damage only occurs in gudgeon-Ligula and cultured ro&ch-Ligula which has been exposed to gudgeon-plasma. L1 and L2 cell types predominate within the cellular response. Once the host leucocytes have breached the tegument, they migrate over the basal lamina and penetrate into the sub-tegumental region. In gudgeon an intense cellular attack occurs against Sepharose, Spurr's resin, ro&ch-Ligula and cultured gudgeon-Ligula which had been implanted directly or exposed to roach plasma. Tegument damage only occurs in the latter. In contrast, neither direct implantation of gudgeon-Ligula nor cultured roach-Ligula which has been exposed to gudgeon plasma evokes a cellular response. It is suggested that in these two instances, as in natural infections of gudgeon, protective host proteins may be absorbed onto the surface of the parasite.
