寄生藤壶（Cirripedia：Rhizocephala）是甲壳类动物的高度特化的寄生虫。它们利用根系统代替消化道进食，根系统渗入宿主体内吸收营养。使用X射线微型计算机断层扫描（MicroCT）和计算机辅助三维重建，我们记录的空间组织的根系，内部，在完整的主机，也证明了其使用的寄生虫的生殖部分，外部的形态学检查。这是第一个在原位对Rhizocephala独特的根系进行3D可视化，展示了它与宿主内部器官的关系。我们调查了不同的寄生藤壶的家庭Peltogastridae，这是寄生在anomuran甲壳动物。本文对寄居蟹和石蟹的根头寄生虫进行了分析。(C)2015作者由爱思唯尔公司出版。这是一篇开放获取的文章，获得了CC BY-NC-ND许可证（http：//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/）。
Parasitic barnacles (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala) are highly specialized parasites of crustaceans. Instead of an alimentary tract for feeding they utilize a system of roots, which infiltrates the body of their hosts to absorb nutrients. Using X-ray micro computer tomography (MicroCT) and computer-aided 3D-reconstruction, we document the spatial organization of this root system, the interna, inside the intact host and also demonstrate its use for morphological examinations of the parasites reproductive part, the externa. This is the first 3D visualization of the unique root system of the Rhizocephala in situ, showing how it is related to the inner organs of the host. We investigated the interna from different parasitic barnacles of the family Peltogastridae, which are parasitic on anomuran crustaceans. Rhizocephalan parasites of pagurid hermit crabs and lithodid crabs were analysed in this study. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
