摘要: The parasite assemblage in the scroll-type spiral intestine of 24 specimens blue shark Prionace glauca collected off Montauk, Long Island, New York was investigated. When opened with a longitudinal incision to right ventral blood vessels, internal mucosal could be unrolled into flat sheet double-sided tissue. Attachment sites and assemblages were studied on both sides 12 sharks either inside or outside additional sharks. Assemblages within host individuals composed up 4 species tetraphyllidean cestodes including onchobothriid Platybothrium auriculatum, phyllobothriids, Prosobothrium armigerum. Paraorygmatobothrium prionacis, Anthobothrium laciniatum. Each individual hosted 1-4 tapeworm (mean = 3.7 +/- 0.65). which scroll examined 156-2,382 929.1 818) tapeworms. consisted core species.
