“…Puromycin, which inhibited protein synthesis in L. carinii, has been found to inhibit cell-free systems in larval T. crassiceps and in protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus (AGOSIN & REPETTO, 1967) and is also an effective inhibitor of a cell-free ribosomal fraction of adult worms of//, diminuta (PARKER & MCINNIS, 1977;Wani etal., unpublished). It does not have any effect on the process in the metacercariae of//, diminuta (JEFFS & ARME, 1984).…”

Acanthocheilonema viteae,Litomosoides cariniiandSetaria cerviwere found to actively synthesize proteinsin vitro. Different centrifugation fractions and their TCA-precipitable fractions were assessed for the distribution of newly synthesized proteins. Penicillin and streptomycin inhibited the process inA. viteae. The synthesis inS. cerviwas susceptible to puromycin, chloramphenicol, cycloheximide, neomycin and polymyxin B. The process inL. cariniiwas strongly blocked by puromycin while chloramphenicol had no significant effect.

SUMMARYIncorporation of four amino acids into protein by stage V cysticercoids of Hymenolepis diminuta occurred in the order leucine > phenylalanine > alanine > proline. Leucine incorporation was apparently linear over a 5 h period in contrast to uptake which was non-linear over the same time. Pre-incubation in sugars did not affect protein synthesis but incorporation was inhibited by cycloheximide. Uptake and incorporation of leucine by stage III cysticercoids exceeded that of stage V metacestodes and the 10-day-old adult worm.
