AB  - To observe ultrastructure of rabbit <I>Cysticercus pisiformis</I>. 
  <I>Cysticercus pisiformis</I> of naturally infected rabbit was collected and 
  prepared for Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) examinations. Under TEM, 
  cysticercosis pisiformis appeared to be ovoid form which comprised cyst wall, 
  cyst fluid, scolex and cervical segment from outer to inner side. The structure 
  of cyst wall was 3 layers (cortex, mesenchyina and parenchyma) of which the 
  cortex was composed of 2 layers regular long strip shape cells, the mesenchyina 
  included a large number of glycogen granules and some bunches of fiber and the 
  parenchyma included two kinds of cells besides glycogen granules and fiber. 
  One kind was calcareous corpuscles cell and the other was spindle cell with 
  bigger nuclear. The scolex comprised cortex, mesenchyina and parenchyma from 
  outer to inner side of which the outside cortex laid a large number of regular 
  microvilli, the mesenchyina laid a large number of structureless fibrous material 
  and glycogen granules and the parenchyma laid parenchymal cells, cortical cell, 
  myoblast, flame cell, calcareous corpuscles cell, hamulus, collecting duct and 
  excretory duct. The structure of cervical segment was similar with that of the 
  scolex which included collecting duct and gather duct net. The ultrastructure 
  of rabbit cysticercosis pisiformis was similar with that of the reported other 
  cestode except a large number of regular microvilli in the cortex of scolex, 
  sparser microvilli in cervical segment than scolex and no microvilli in cyst 
  wall. Furthermore, 2 layers regular long strip shape cells were in the cortex 
  of cyst wall which had no report in cysticercus cellulosae and sheep coenosis.
