Abstract :

The ultrastructure of the oviduct of C. cotylophorum shows that it is internally lined by syncytial epidermis. The apical surface bear�s many apical lamellae and the cilia. Epithelial cytoplasm contains abundant mitochondria, moderate GER and numerous Golgi complexes with their associated vesicles. This indicated that some kind of secretory material is synthesized in this region. Therefore, the present research work is great import from medico-veterinary standpoint.
