The ultrastructure of the peri-vulval region of Strongyloides cebus.
Ultrastructural studies were undertaken on a discrete peri-vulval area of cuticular modification in the parasitic female of Strongyloides cebus. Cilium-like arrangements of microtubules were observed which suggested that this region was sensory in nature. The possible function of this is discussed.
