Resumo

In 5 species of cestode plerocercoids parasitizing fish, free endings of peripheral neurosecretory neurons were found in the tegument in the ultrastructural study. These free terminals secreted vesicles on the tegument surface and into the host body. An increase in secretion under the influence of the blood serum of a fish host has been experimentally shown. In the body of cestodes, neurosecretory neurons (NN) form paracrine-type contacts near the cell membranes of the frontal glands, tegument, and muscles, performing the function of endocrine glands. Simultaneously, NN function as exocrine glands and secrete so-called manipulative factors that influence the physiology of the host.
