strobilation

[‚sträb·ə′lā·shən]
(invertebrate zoology)
Asexual reproduction by segmentation of the body into zooids, proglottids, or separate individuals.

Strobilation

 

(1) A type of asexual reproduction in some invertebrates whereby daughter individuals are successively separated by transverse division from a parental body. The classical example of strobilation is the division of ephyrae (scyphozoan larvae) from a scyphistoma.

(2) The process by which the body of tapeworms is divided into similar segments (proglottids). The chain of segments is called a strobila.

Considering that the prepatent period (time from start of infection to time infection is discovered, e.g., person notices strobila excreted in feces) is 2-4 weeks, patients probably acquired infective plerocercoids during February-June.

Thick cross hand-cutting sections of the proglottides were stained following the same procedure; fragments of the strobila were embedded in paraffin wax, transversely sectioned at 13-19 [micro]m, stained with Weigert's hematoxylin and counterstained with 1% eosin B and mounted in Canada balsam (see de Chambrier and Pertierra, 2002).
