Abstract
Seven types of uniciliate and two types of non-ciliate receptors were found in the larva of Lobatostoma manteri. Uniciliate receptors differ in the length of the cilium, the shape of the cilium, presence or absence of a ciliary rootlet, and the number of electrondense collars. Non-ciliate receptors differ in the shape of the ciliary rootlet. The variety of receptors is smaller than that of larval Multicotyle purvisi, possibly due to the different modes of infection: ingestion of the egg by a snail, hatching of a non-ciliate larva in the stomach and migration into the digestive gland in Lobatostoma, hatching of a ciliate larva in fresh water, inhalation by a snail and migration into the kidney in Multicotyle.
