Abstract

Histochemical and thin layer Chromatographic studies were made on neutral lipids in adult Leucochloridiomorpha constantiae (Trematoda) obtained from the bursa of Fabricius of experimentally infected domestic chicks. Oil Red O staining of adults revealed neutral lipids in the suckers, parenchyma and eggs, and trace amounts in the cecal epithelium and lumina of the gut. TLC analysis detected triglycerides and free sterols as the major neutral lipid fractions of adults. Lesser amounts of free fatty acids, cholesterol esters, mono- and diglycerides were also found.
