cercaria fork-tailed




Title:
cercaria fork-tailed

Description:
Fork-tailed cercariae and sporocyst from snail; recorded during the Field Parasitology course at the University of Nebraska's Cedar Point Biological Station. Pictures were shot using a Nikon AlphaPhot teaching compound microscope with a trinocular head and a mounted camera. Ill shoot some scales and post them separately as a short video. Lowest mags were with a 4X objectives, next mags with a 10X objective, and highest with a 40X objective. The camera tube has no separate eyepiece lens. Thanks for the suggestions!

S.mansoni live worm pair
A short movie of an S.mansoni wormpair. This movies shows the worms under a microscope, the female is protected by her mate, sheltering between his folds, much like a banana. On the right side you can clearly see the suckers of the male worm, these suckers are used to move around the vessels, or some cases the petridish.
Schistosoma mansoni: effects of praziquantel
Time-lapse video over 90 seconds at a frame capture rate of 0.5 secs & sped up 10 times. To adult Schistosoma mansoni worms in culture, a 5 micomolar concentration of praziquantel - the current drug to treat schistosomiasis - is added. Note that the reaction of the parasite to the drug is almost instantaneous. Very active worms become progressively slower with marked coiling, particularly of the males (paler and more massive worms). On the right, a female worm (thinner and darker) is seen ...
