Strigeid metacercaria shenanigans continuing. Cysts were isolated from Erpobdella octoculata leeches. Polarized for visualization of double-layered cyst wall. One cercaria got out of the cyst, received mugshot as well. Barcoding primers are on the way. #parasitology #FlatwormFriday #invertebrate

I'm not dead. Just very busy. Not much of time for internet at those days. Some adult Dugesia gonocephala from recent Slovakia batch. #FlatwormFriday

#FlatwormFriday. Taenia pisiformis scolex. 4 suckers, calcareous corpuscles in parenchyma are visible under tegument. Nice muscle fibers in parenchymal tissue. Just tiny slice, in mm scale. 500x, H&E, several frames. Not my production, operator was somebody from T. Gerrard & Co, UK #parasitology

Okay it appears #FlatwormFriday has already been started by other BUT!! we need more freshwater representation 💗 and derpy eyes
I’ve decided we need to do Flatworm Fridays. So here’s a cute derpy flatworm for y’all (and yes, they’re always crosseyed) #flatwormfriday #turbellaria

Late #FlatwormFriday. My @inaturalist.bsky.social platyhelminth ID #10000 is this weirdo. Who it might be? Looks like one of European microplanids with several ocelli. Send samples! www.inaturalist.org/observations...

Happy Friday! Kicking off the weekend with a couple of fun snaps 📷 ✨ Tiger flatworm (Prostheceraeus crozieri) on a tunicate and a spiny sea rod (Muricea elongata) with a giant basket star (Astrophytom muricatum).

It's FlatwormFriday. Here, have this suspiciously long Dugesia sp. from Catalonia. They seems to be asexual, no gonophore present but they are large, they looks almost like sexual specimens. Histology/genetics needed here. I need to be careful with them, I have only 4 specimens 🌿 #invertebrate 🧪

SOI found Xenoturbella at methane seeps near the coast of Chile today. Lost socks available at www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c34..., I hope we will see more of them today. GBIF is negative on them in this area.I missed some papers or is this brand new location for them? 🌿 #invertebrate #FlatwormFriday 🧪

It's #FlatwormFriday ;] So there is Prosthiostomum sp.,most likely siphunculus. Intertidal zone of Catalonia, Spain. We met those before on previous planarian conference just few kilometers away from this new locality🌿 #invertebrate 🧪 🪱

Another Rhynchodemus sylvaticus, sample 248_1 this time. No male maturity but female parts are developed quite well . Only one from whole batch which was done with H&E. 25x, tons of frames. #microscopy #invertebrates #FlatwormFriday 🧪 🌿
