    Annotation Abstract—A structural aspect of the parasite–host interactions in the Triaenophorus nodulosus– European perch system was studied; a number of structural mechanisms involved in the parasite's protective reaction against the host's immune response were identified. Plerocercoids are localized in the liver of the intermediate fish host. In response to invasion, a parasitic granuloma is formed from the host tissues forming a closed capsule around the parasite. It was demonstrated that the capsule wall is multilayered and consists of several cell types. The outer layer (fibrous) is represented by fibroblasts and connective tissue fibers. The inner layer is formed by several rows of flattened epithelioid cells tightly adjacent to each other and connected by desmosomes. Individual macrophages exhibiting a phagocytic activity were found on the inner surface of the capsule wall. Structural diversity of the cellular elements of the granuloma wall depends on time elapsed since infection and physiological state of the host. Phagocytosis of apical parts of microtriches and tumuli by granuloma macrophages was described for the first time. Crystal-like structures of unknown origin were also found for the first time in the capsule cavity. The plerocercoid is located freely in the capsule cavity and has formed hooks that (unlike the intestinal stage) are covered with the tegument cytoplasm. The tegument secretes a thick layer of filamentous matrix, extracellular vesicles, and vacuolized microtriches onto the surface. Terminals of specialized cells secrete three types of secretory products: secretion of frontal glands, secretion of tumuli, and neurosecretion of cup-shaped terminals. Universal structural adaptations common to all stages of parasite development and specialized ones common to tissue plerocercoids were detected. Vacuolized microtriches belong to the specialized structures that arise in response to the host immunity.
