Abstract
In order to know the enzyme activities of Fibricola seoulensis, an intestinal trematode of human and rodent in Korea, the enzyme histochemical method is applied. Activities of acid phosphatase (E.C.3.1.3.2) and non-specific esterase (E.C.3.1.1) were present in microvilli and glandular cells of tribocytic organ and the epithelium of the caecum.

Rat intestine infected with F. seoulensis which shows the acid phosphatase activity from the epithelium of the caecum (C), microvilli (M) and glandular cells (G) of the tribocytic organ. The microvilli of the rat intestine also show the positive. Lead nitrate method, positive-black. ×100.
