Abstract:

Free amino acid levels in different regions of the worm Raillietina tetragona (Molin, 1858) infecting domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus) were estimated. Amino acid variation was observed in immature, mature and gravid regions of the worm and the results were statistically analysed. The results are discussed in relation to their metabolic transition.

Keywords:

Raillietina tetragona, free amino acids, Gallus domesticus, proglottids, metabolic transition.
