| Abstract: | Studies were carried out of the permeability of the cuticle of Trichinella spiralis (Owen, 1835) for fluorochromes and histidine, the filling of the mid-gut and the amino-acids contents in it. The quantity of glicogene in different organs was estimated. A conclusion has been grown that a larva consumes food through the integuments of its body; intestinal Trichinella use within the first 20 hours of their development the reserves of glicogene and later consume food monomeres and oxygen from the host's mucous membrane through their integuments. The mode of feeding of Trichinella was formed during their evolution as an adaptation to parasitism on the mucous membrane of the host. |
