Description
English: This is a photomicrograph of a tissue sample harvested from a cyst, which was harbored inside a gorilla. On the right, the cystic tissue revealed the presence of necrotic debris, and interspersed protoscolices of the microscopic tapeworm, Echinococcus vogeli. The larval stage of this microscopic tapeworm is one of the causative agents of alveolar hydatid disease (AHD), an infection in humans that causes parasitic tumors to form, mainly in the liver, but can also appear in other organs as well.
