We examined the morphology of fertilized egg and ultrastructures of fertilized egg envelopes of Ancistrus cirrhosus belong to Loricariidae using light and electron microscopes. The fertilized eggs formed a mass on the spawning place and were yellowish, spherical, non-transparent, demersal, adhesive, and a narrow perivitelline space. But, the adhesiveness of fertilized eggs was disappeared after spawning excluding contact parts. The micropyle with funnel shape was surrounded by 15-19 furrow lines of egg envelope in a spoke-like pattern. The outer surface of egg envelope has smooth side and inner surface of egg envelope was rough with grooves. Also, the total thickness of the fertilized egg envelope was about 32.58 ± 0.85 ㎛ (n = 20), and the fertilized egg envelope consisted of three layers, an outer adhesive electron-dense layer, a middle layer with low electron density and an inner electron-dense layer with grooves in counter structure from other most teleost. Collectively, these morphological characteristics and adhesive property of fertilized egg, and ultrastructures of micropyle, outer surface, and section of fertilized egg envelope are showed species specificity.

Cryptosporidium parvum causes a life-threatening diarrhea in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients. THe sporozoite stage of C. parvum has been known to be a target in treating cryptosporidiosis in AIDS patients as it is an extracellular stage. A sporozoite was ultrastructurally observed. It has a creascent shape with a rounded posterior end and a tapering body. The compact nucleus was located at the posterior end. A monoclonal antibody was produced, which recognized a 43 kDa of sporozoite antigens in a western blot analysis and showed the surface labeling in immunofluorescence.

A scanning electron microscopic study was performed on the surface ultrastructure of Pygidiopsis summa (Digenea: Heterophyidae) adults. Metacercariae were collected from gills and muscles of mullets (Mugil cephalus) caught in a known endemic area, and adult flukes were harvested from dogs after 8 weeks of experimental infection. The worm was calabash form with its posterior part broader than the anterior part. Tegumental spines were densely distributed over the body surface, except on the suckers and genital apparatus, and around the excretory pore. Well differentiated spines were observed on the anterior half of the body, with 14-16 tips ventrally, and 19-20 tips dorsally. On the oral sucker. three pairs of type I sensory papillae (uni-ciliated knob-like swellings) and one pair of type II sensory papillae (aciliated round-swellings) were observed on the anterior and posterior parts of the lip, respectively. On the lip of the ventral sucker, one pair of type II sensory papillae was distributed only on its posterior part. Sperms were seen emerging from or entering into the genital apparatus. The results showed that the surface ultrastructure of P. summa was unique among the heterophyid trematodes, especially in digitation of tegumental spines and in distribution of sensory papillae on oral and ventral suckers.

Ultrastructure of stemmata(larval eye) of 5th-instar larval in cabbage butterfly, Pieris rapae L, was morphologically investigated with light microscope, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope Six stemmata are on each side of the head. Stemmata V and VI have a Y-shaped sulcus on the surface of their corneal lenses, the others have a columnar shaped process and smooth globular surface. The visual type of stemmata is resembled a single ommatidium of compound eye. The dioptric apparatus are a biconvex shaped cornea and crystalline cone. As a photoreceptor, each stemmata consists of 7 retinular cells arranged into 2 tiers. The first ceil tier of 3 distal retinular cells has formed a V-shaped cup rhabdome and the second cell tier of 4 basal retinular cells has formed a H-shaped fused rhabdome. Each retinular cell filled with pigment granules and contained multivesiclular bodies, coated vesicle and common organelles. The peripheral parts of retinular cells are enveloped by neuroglia cells and retinular cells are surrounded by 3 corneagenous cells. The distal portions of the 3 corneagenous cells contact each other, but the Y-shaped stemmata is separated from each other immediately under the cornea. The 7 axons from each stemma congregate into a bundle and each 7-axon group joins to form a stemmatal nerve, consisting of 42 retinular axons.

Ultrastructure of fertilized egg envelope in the tomato clown anemonefish (Amphiprion freatus) was examined by mean of light, scanning and transmission electron microscopies. The fertilized egg of tomato clown anemonefish was of non-transparent, ellipsoidal, adhesive and non-floted type, and there were numerous oil droplets in the yolk sac and adhesive filaments in the area of the animal pole. The outer surface of egg envelope was smooth. The fertilized egg envelope consisted of two distinct layers; a non-adhesive outer electron-dense layer and an inner layer, consisting of five horizontal low electron-dense lamellae alternating with the middle electron dense interlamellae.

This study was accomplished to investigate the ultrastructure of mucous glands in dorsal skin of frog (Rana catesbeiana) by means of scanning and transmission electron microscopes. The dorsal skin of Rana catesbeiana is composed of epidermis and dermis. The cutaneous mucous glands consist of inner glandular epithelial cells and outer myoepithelial cells. Glandular epithelial cells are divided into four types by the microscopic ultrastructure; ER-rich cell, round secretory granule-containing cell, foam-like granule mass-containing cell, mitochondria-rich cell. Myoepithelial cell has a long elliptical nucleus and filled with fibrous materials in the cytoplasm. As a result of scanning microscopic observation, the surface of dorsal skin is covered with cutaneous protrusions. The opening sites of the mucous glands are irregularly distributed in dorsal skin.

Lung fluke, Paragonimus heterotremus, is a flatworm causing pulmonary paragonimiasis in cats, dogs, and humans in Southeast Asia. We examined the ultrastructure of the testis of adult P. heterotremus with special attention to spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The full sequence of spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis, from the capsular basal lamina to the luminal surface, was demonstrated. The sequence comprises spermatogonia, spermatocytes with obvious nuclear synaptonemal complexes, spermatids, and eventual spermatozoa. Moreover, full steps of spermatid differentiation were shown which consisted of 1) early stage, 2) differentiation stage representing the flagella, intercentriolar body, basal body, striated rootlets, and electron dense nucleus of thread-like lamellar configuration, and 3) growing spermatid flagella. Detailed ultrastructure of 2 different types of spermatozoa was also shown in this study.

The ultrastructure of fertilized egg envelope from Pseudobagrus fulvidraco belongs to Bagridae was investigated using light and electron microscopes. The fertilized egg was compressed spherical, light-yellowish, demersal, and adhesive. The size of fertilized egg is about $1.85{\pm}0.13mm$, perivitelline space is not well developed, and there were no appendicular structures on the outer surface of egg envelope and oil droplets in vitelline membrane under light microscope. The micropyle was located in the animal pole of fertilized egg. Adhesive reticular fiber was covered fertilized egg envelope. The thickness of egg envelope was about $3.7{\sim}4.2{\mu}m$, and the egg envelope consisted of two layers: an outer, electron-dense adhesive fibers layer and an simple inner layer with pore. Therefore, the ultrastructure of cross section of the fertilized egg envelope showed species specificity, but studies on the other species belongs to Bagridae were need to get correct information about common traits in family.

Heterophyes necens의 표피 미세구조를 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 충체는 실험 감염시킨 고양이에서 얻은 성충과 인체 자연감염자에서 회수한 성충을 재료로 하였다. 충체는 나뭇잎 모양이며 복측으로 약간 굽어 있었고, 유원형 또는 서양배 모양이며 전반부는 등글고 후반부로 갈수록 충체의 폭이 차츰 감소하였다. 구흡반 주위에는 짧은 섬모가 있는 제 I형 감각유두가 4∼5개씩 모인 군집 감각유두가 관찰되었으며 그 사이 사이에 단일 감각유두가 분포하였다. 구흡반 외연 및 직후방에는 5∼9개의 분지를 가진 피극이, 구흡반과 복흡반 사이에는 12∼17개의 분지를 가진 피극이 분포하였다 복흡반의 구순에는 표피가 둥글게 융기한 제 II형 감각유두가 7∼8 개 일정 간격으로 위치하였다. 구흡반과 복흡반 사이에는 우측과 좌측에 각각 5개 및 6개의 감각유두로 구성된 군집 감각유두가 3개군씩 대칭적으로 배열되어 있었고 그 사이에 단일 감각유두가 분포하였다. 고양이에서 회수한 성충의 생식반은 흔히 함몰되거나 약간만 돌출되어 있어 gonotyl spine을 관찰하기 어려웠으나, 환자에서 얻은 성충은 대부분의 경우 생식반이 충체 바깥으로 돌출되어 있었고, gonotyl spine의 수는50∼60개이었다. 복흡반 외측 및 후방에는 8∼12개의 분지를 가진 피극이 각각 관찰되었으며, 충체의 후반부로 갈수록 피극의 분지 수가 점차 감소하여 후단에서는 1∼3개의 분지를 가진 피극이 관찰되었고 피극의 밀도도 점차 낮아지는 양상을 띠었다. 충체 배측에는 4∼5개의 감각유두가 모인 군집 감각유두 4쌍이 좌우 대칭적으로 배열되어 있었다. 충체 배측의 점반부에는 15∼20개의 분지를 가진 피극이 분포하였고 후반부로 갈수록 분지 양상이 감소하여 배측 후 단에서는 8~12개의 분지를 가진 피극이 관찰되었다. 또, 후반부로 갈수록 피극의 밀도가 점차 낮아지는 양상을 보였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 대. nocens 성충의 표피 미세구조는 다른 이형흡충류의 경우와 비슷하나 생식반 외연에 분포하는 gonotyl Spine의 수가 50∼60개인 점, 전 표피에서 관찰되는 피극 및 감각유두의 특이한 분포 등은 H. nocens의 특징적 소견이라고 생각되었다.
