Mating schistosome flukes,SEM
Mating schistosome flukes. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a pair of mating schistosome flukes (Schistosoma mansoni). These flukes are a cause of schistosomiasis in humans. The larger male is seen wrapped around the narrow female (lower left). As adults,these worms live in the veins around the large intestine. During mating,the male holds the female in a groove known as the gynaecophoric canal,which he forms by folding the sides of his body around her. The many eggs produced by the female leave the body in the faeces,but can also form fibrous obstructions of tissues and vessels known as granulomas. Magnification: x70 at 6x7cm size. x110 at 4x5ins
