Ultrastructure of Brugia malayi egg shell and microfilarial sheath have been compared. They are identical in appearance, thus confirming that the microfilarial sheath is derived from the egg shell. The surface of the egg shell and the microfilarial sheath have distinct electron-dense projections which may have a protective role for the parasite.
对马来布鲁线虫卵壳和微丝蚴鞘膜的超微结构进行了比较。它们在外观上是相同的,从而证实微丝蚴鞘膜源自卵壳。卵壳表面和微丝蚴鞘膜有明显的电子致密突起,这可能对寄生虫具有保护作用。
