Description The outer body surface of parasitic Platyhelminthes, including monogenean parasites, is covered by a tegument consisting of a syncytial layer, cell bodies that are situated below the syncytium and muscle layers connected to the syncytium by several cytoplasmic processes. Developmental stages of Paradiplozoon bliccae comprising diporpa, juvenile and adult were investigated for their anatomy using a combined approach of light, confocal and electron microscopy. The freeze-etching method proved to be a strong tool to visualize the membranous structures of tegumentary cells and muscles of the body wall.
