Abstract
DURING investigations into the nutrition of the monogenetic trematode Diplozoon pcwadoxum (parasitic on the gills of minnow, roach, rudd, etc.), it was noted that portions of the nervous system gave a strong positive reaction for non-specific esterase. This observation led to the development of a simple but effective method for demonstrating the entire nervous system in the intact animal.
