Features and functions of glycocalyx of trematode cercariae
 Chaloupecká, Jana ; Mikeš, Libor (advisor) ; Kašný, Martin (referee)
Trematodes are parasites from phylum Platyhelminthes which have compex life cycles involving two to four hosts. This work focuses especially on trematodes of the family Schistosomatidae. Their cercariae which leave the snail intermediate host, actively penetrate the skin of definitive hosts and transform into schistosomula. This is accompanied by detachment of cercarial tail and emptying of penetration glands. During transformation, cercarial bodies undergo extensive ultrastructural and molecular changes. One of these changes is the loss of surface glycocalyx which represents a protective coat in the aquatic environment. In glycocalyx shedding, participation of proteolytic enzymes from cercarial penetration glands is expected during invasion of the host. Glycocalyx has specific composition of saccharide molecules which are bound to lipids or proteins on the membrane of cercarial tegument. This work describes the origin, ultrastructure, saccharide composition, function and shedding mechanism of cercarial glycocalyx.

Species diversity of Plagiorchis Lühe, 1899 (Digenea: Plagiorchiidae) in lymnaeid snails from freshwater ecosystems in central Europe revealed by molecules and morphology
 ROHÁČOVÁ, Jana
This study applies molecular and morphological approaches addressing the identification of morphologically similar larval stages (cercariae) of Plagiorchis spp. (Digenea: Plagiorchiidae) parasitising lymnaeid snail populations in the freshwater ecosystems of central Europe. Five morphologically homogeneous and genetically distinct lineages of Plagiorchis spp. were identified via matching molecular data for the mitochondrial cox1 gene with detailed morphometric data. Phylogenetic and comparative sequence analyses using partial 28S rDNA and ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 sequences allowed molecular identification of three species (P. elegans, P. maculosus and P. koreanus) via matching sequences from larval and adult digenean stages. A key for the identification of the cercariae of Plagiorchis spp. parasitising lymnaeid populations in central Europe is provided.
