Abstract：
:Spermiogenesis and spermatozoon ultrastructure of the caryophyllidean cestode Breviscolex orientalis Kulakovskaya, 1962, first member of the family Capingentidae studied, a parasite of cyprinid fish Abbottina rivularis, are described using transmission electron microscopy. Spermiogenesis in B. orientalis follows the Type II pattern described by Bâ and Marchand (Mém Mus Natl Hist Nat 166:87-95, 1995) for cestodes. It begins with the formation of a zone of differentiation containing a large nucleus and a pair of centrioles. The centrioles are separated from one another by an intercentriolar body composed of three electron-dense layers. Each centriole is associated with typical striated roots. At the beginning of the spermiogenesis, an electron-dense material is observed in the apical region of the differentiation zone. During the initial stage of spermiogenesis, one of the centrioles gives rise to a free flagellum, which then rotates and undergoes proximodistal fusion with the cytoplasmic protrusion of the differentiation zone. The mature spermatozoon of B. orientalis corresponds to the Type III pattern described by Levron et al. (Biol Rev 85:523-543, 2010). It is characterized by the absence of mitochondrion and crested body. Five regions of the mature spermatozoon are differentiated. The main ultrastructural characteristics are: one axoneme of 9+ "1" trepaxonematan pattern, cortical microtubules and nucleus. The comparison of the spermiogenesis of B. orientalis with those of the other caryophyllidean species demonstrates some variation within the order relative to the presence and morphology of the intercentriolar body, the presence of slight rotation of the flagellar bud and a complete proximodistal fusion of the free flagellum with a cytoplasmic protrusion.
