1 something, usually a good thing, that has happened as result of chance instead of skill or planning: --
Transverse and longitudinal thick tissue sections of adult flukes (more than 12 weeks old) were fixed and processed for phalloidin staining as described above.
These spines may facilitate the movement of juvenile flukes during their migration to the biliary system of the liver.
Partially digested ventral suckers of adult flukes were prepared as described previously, then fixed and processed for phalloidin staining.
In contrast, follicles were present in flukes at the earliest time of recovery from the bile duct, namely, 5 weeks 3 days post-infection.
Following entry into the liver, the fluke burrows through the liver parenchyma before reaching its final site in the bile duct.
The main cause of anaemia in fascioliasis is the passage of red blood cells into the gastrointestinal tract, presumably via flukes and the bile duct.
Isolated muscle fibres from the ventral sucker may represent a more homogeneous population of muscle fibres than fibres isolated from a whole fluke digest.
Muscle fibres enzymatically isolated from the fluke have been characterised in terms of their morphology and contractile proteins.
