On the scolex, there were four suckers and two rows of hooklets.
Once both ventral suckers are attached to their respective papillae, lysis and fusion of the adjoining tissues begin.
The excretory vesicle is placed at the posterior end slightly in front, and at the side of, the large sucker.
The oral sucker is subterminal and measures about 0"16 mm. in diameter.
These are seen on the oral and ventral suckers and lateral, ventral and dorsal body surfaces.
The eggs were scattered around the ovary and along the left side of the ventral sucker.
Partially digested ventral suckers of adult flukes were prepared as described previously, then fixed and processed for phalloidin staining.
It is probably not a result of atrophy of the sucker; the suckers of immatures and adults show no signs of degradation.
