Ascorbic acid levels in the proglottides of four species of cestode parasites of mammals and birds in relation to their sexual maturity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2009
Abstract
Ascorbic acid levels were found to be closely related to different stages of growth and maturity of Avitellina centripunctata, Moniezia expansa, and Stilesia globipunctata from goats and sheep and of Raillietina echinobothrida from fowl. The ascorbic acid level in avian parasites was higher than that in mammalian. The level was highest in immature proglottides and lowest in gravid proglottides.
