Histochemical studies on the distribution of glycogen, protein and lipid in cestode gangesia gangesia ramkai pawar, 2008

The present communication deals with the histochemical studies on the distribution of Glycogen, Protein and Lipid in cestode Gangesia Gangesia) ramkai. The worms were collected from freshwater catfish Wallago attu Bleeker) and observed that histochemically distributed amount of glycogen, protein and lipid is large in parenchyma, reproductive organs, vitelline follicles and longitudinal muscle of tegument, but the concentration differs with the different regions of proglottids. From the observation it is clear that the worm could to acquire the glycogen, protein and lipid from the host.
