[Study of the monogenean family Tetraonchidae Bychowsky, 1937 by the scanning electron microscopy].
Hitherto data on the morphology of Tetraonchidae and their eggs obtained with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were absent in the literature. In the present paper results of SEM study of two genera of Tetraonchidae, Tetraonchus and Salmonchus, are given. Fine morphological traits of eggs, larvae, and definitive individuals of Tetraonchidae, as well as patterns of their attachment to host gill, were established for the first time. A deep penetration of the worms into the branchial epithelium of the host was shown.
