Histochemical enzyme pattern of microfilaria of Setaria cervi.
The present study deals with the histochemical localization of glucose-6-phosphatase, malic dehydrogenase and aldolase in the microfilaria of Setaria cervi. Marked activity of glucose-6-phosphatase was observed in the cephalic cells, excretory and anal pores, G-cells and Innenkörper. Malic dehydrogenase activity was noted throughout the body (including cuticle) of the microfilaria except for Innenkörper. Intense aldolase activity was observed in the excretory pore and G-cells only. Muscle cells and anal pore were negative for this enzyme.
