| Title | Raillietiella aegypti (Pentastomida, Cephalobaenida)  | ||
| Abstract | The oocytes of the cephalobaenid Pentastomid Rail lietiella aegypti were studied by electron microscopy. A prominent feature of vitellogenic oocytes are numerous spherical, oval and elongated mitochondria. Some of these are shown with desmosome-like structures. The associa tions between mitochondria and the desmosome-like struc tures have always been observed to lie freely in the oocyto-plasm; there are no apparent connections with the oocytous plasma membrane. Possible functional roles of these com plexes are evaluated. | ||
