Abstract
Sense receptors of the juvenile aspidogastrid Lobatostoma manteri infecting the digestive gland of the prosobranch snail Cerithium moniliferum were examined by transmission electron microscopy. At least eight types of presumptive sense receptors, some uniciliate and some non-ciliate, are described. Some of the receptors occur in thousands. This is the greatest variety of receptors ever described from a parasitic stage of a platyhelminth by electron microscopy.
