A TEM section through two mucous cells (arrows) and a rodlet cell (arrow head) within the intestinal epithelium of a tench. (a) A TEM section through two mucous cells (arrows) and a rodlet cell (arrow head) within the intestinal epithelium of a tench, Tinca tinca, infected with Monobothrium wageneri. Note that within the mucous cells there are electron-opaque and electron-lucent granules, scale bar = 4.3 μm. (b) Neutrophils (curved arrows) inside a capillary and within the connective tissue of the sub-mucosa of an infected tench. Arrow heads show the position of the mast cells within the connective tissue, scale bar = 4.4 μm. (c) Mast cells (arrow heads) and neutrophils (curved arrows) in close proximity to the scolex tegument of M. wageneri (asterisk), scale bar = 4.6 μm. (d) A neutrophil (curved arrow) attached to the scolex microtriches. Asterisk marks the scolex tegument, scale bar = 1 μm. (e) A mast cell releases its granules (arrow heads) in the vicinity of the scolex microtriches (arrows), scale bar = 0.5 μm. (f) Free mast cell granules (arrow heads) are visible among the scolex microtriches (arrows), scale bar = 1 μm.
