title: [DISTRIBUTION OF NADPH-DIAPHORASE ACTIVITY IN TREMATODE CERCARIAE].
abstract: The presence and distribution of nitric oxide sinthase was studied in cercariae of trematodes from seven families using the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase (NADPH-d) histochemical method. The positive NADPH-d staining has been observed in nerve fibers in main nerve chords and in fibers running to eyespots (pigmented eyes) as well as in muscles of the oral and ventral suckers. The obtained data support an important role of the NO-signalling in the physiology of trematode cercariae.
