Cobra tapeworm, SEM
Cobra tapeworm. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head (scolex) of a cobra tapeworm (Taenia sp.). Tapeworms are parasites that inhabit the intestines of animals and humans. Different tapeworms have different animals as their intermediate and final hosts. The suckers (round) help to anchor the worm to the hosts intestinal lining. Tapeworms do not possess a digestive tract and so absorb nutrients from the half-digested food of the host through their skin

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a Cobra tapeworm, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors highlight the head, or scolex, of this parasitic creature belonging to the Taenia species. Tapeworms are notorious parasites that inhabit the intestines of both animals and humans. Each tapeworm has specific intermediate and final hosts, making their life cycle fascinatingly complex. The round suckers visible in this image serve as anchors for the worm within its host's intestinal lining. Unlike most organisms, tapeworms lack a digestive tract and instead absorb nutrients through their skin from half-digested food in their host's system. The false-colored SEM image not only reveals the unique biological structure of this cobra tapeworm but also offers insights into its zoological classification. As an invertebrate belonging to the phylum Platyhelminthes, commonly known as flatworms, it represents one branch of our diverse fauna. This photograph is a testament to nature's incredible diversity and serves as a reminder of how intricately interconnected different species can be within ecosystems. It invites us to marvel at these often unseen creatures that play vital roles in maintaining ecological balance while reminding us to appreciate the wonders found within our own biology.
