Abstract

The aim was to compare the features of the structure of the peripheral nervous system in healthy and experimentally infected sheep with fascioliasis on day 142 of the experiment using lightoptical methods, transmission electron microscopy and morphometry. In animals with fascioliasis, destructive changes were found in all the studied structures of the peripheral nervous system. The observed structural changes reduce the functional capabilities of neurons, worsen the trophic and barrier properties of ganglia due to the destruction of blood vessels, extracellular matrix of loose connective tissue, and perineurium.
