| The protoscolices are then released as scolices, attach to the host intestinal mucosa of the small bowel, and develop into adults within 32 to 80 days. |
| Hooklets and scolices of Tnia echinococcus and embryos of Filaria sanguinis hominis have been met. |
| Rare degenerating scolices and hooklets were sometimes seen. |
| Cyst injection with hypertonic saline solution before puncture can inactivate scolices and daughter cysts. |
| However, a developing hydatid cyst up to 5 cm in diameter may not show scolices as they appear about 1 year after infestation. |
| The cysts were sent for histopathologic examination and the contents for cytologic examination for scolices and hooklets. |
