(a)–(g) Scanning electron micrographs of Moniezia expansa. (a) General anterior view of scolex, arrows show suckers. (b) Sucker evaginated. (c) Sucker invaginated. (d) Acicular and capilliform filitriches covering suckers (scale bar, 1 μm). (e) Portion of strobila showing craspedote proglottids and bilateral genital pores. (f) Portion of proglottid, arrow shows cirrus. (g) Cirrus fully covered by microtriches and showing cavity in center (scale bar, 1 μm). Scale bar = 100 μm, unless stated otherwise.
