This study was carried out to compare distribution and isozyme pattern of nonspecific esterase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase on developing sparganum and adult of Spinometra erinacei by using enzyme-histochemical method and electrophoresis The sparganum and adult were recovered from rats and cat that were infected by sparganum. The results obtained were as follows: Nonspecific esterase had a strong activity in the parenchymal musculature of sparganum and adult, but no detectable level in ihe tegument. A total of 7 and 8 nonspecific esterase bands were detectable in sparganum and adult, respectively. Of these bands, band 3 and 4 were major bands in sparganum and adult. Acid phosphatase had a strong activity in the tegument and the epidermal musculature of sparganum, but no detectable level in the parenchymal musculature. A total of 3 bands were detectable in sparganum and adult. Of these bands, band 3 was major band in sparganum and adult. Alkaline phosphatase had a strong activity in the tegument and the epidennal musculature of sparganum and of adult, but no detectable level in the parenchymal musculature. A total of 2 and 4 bands were detectable in sparganum and adult. Of these bands, band 2 was major band in sparganum and adult. Based on the present results isozyme band patterns showed qualitative and quantitative changes in each tissues of sparganum and of adult during the development.
