Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alberto Maceda"
- Alberto Maceda's recent research focuses on the ultrastructural characteristics of the spermatozoa of the intestinal parasite Telorchis attenuatus, utilizing transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for detailed analysis.
- The study, published in the journal Tissue Cell, represents the first in-depth examination of sperm features within the Telorchiidae family, highlighting the unique filiform shape of the mature spermatozoon that is tapered at both ends.
- This research contributes valuable insights into the reproductive structures and biology of parasitic digeneans, potentially aiding in understanding their life cycles and interactions with host species, specifically the red-eared turtle Trachemys scripta elegans.
