A comparative study of hydrolysis and transport of carbohydrates by the cestode C. laticeps and in the intestine of its host, bream, has revealed a considerable influence of the host's enzymes on the characteristics of the parasite's enzyme system. The cestodes have been found to possess effective transport systems of glucose absorbing it in an active way while in the intestine of bream during the glucose absorption prevail the mechanisms of simple and easy diffusion.
