Table 1. Morphometric measurement of cnidocysts in different body organs of A. arboreum

Organ	Type of Cnidocysts	Length (µm)	Width (µm)	n	N	Frequency	State
n= Number of nematocyst measured; N = Number of individuals; Frequency indicated by A= abundant C= common, R= rare, MPM= Micro basic p-mastigophores; Spirocyst (G) = gracile spirocyst
n= Number of nematocyst measured; N = Number of individuals; Frequency indicated by A= abundant C= common, R= rare, MPM= Microbasic p -mastigophores; Spirocyst (G) = gracile spirocyst; MIA = microbasic amastigophores
