Serialis

Fig. 8.22. Jejunal villi of ruminant and non-ruminant showing paths followed by oncospheres of Echinococcus granulosus and Taenia pisiformis (and some other Taenia spp.). The larger diameter of the E. granulosus oncosphere probably enables it to reach the lymphatic before being translocated in a venule.

The following species of Taenia have been grown from oncospheres to active larvae with suckers T. hydatigena, T. ovis, T. pisiformis, T. serialis and E. granulosus (308, 314). The techniques of Heath Smyth (314), or modifications of them, have been used widely by other workers for the production and collection of E/S antigens of oncospheres in the preparation of potential vaccines (see Chapter 11, p. 302). Only limited success has been achieved with the culture of larval T. saginata (310, 471) and almost none with T. solium, and the in vitro culture of these important species remains a challenge.
