Abstract: Whole worm extracts prepared from homogenates of plerocercoids and adult specimens of the cestode Ligula intestinalis were found to contain a chymotrypsin-like proteolytic enzyme as well as inhibitors acting against mammalian pancreatic trypsin and chymotrypsin. Proteolytic enzyme activity and protease inhibitors could also be demonstrated in culture media of in vitro maintained parasites.
