The canine heartworm is a common and serious nematode parasite of domestic dogs in many parts of the world. Although nematode neuroanatomy is fairly well documented, the emphasis has been on sensory anatomy and primarily in free-living soil species and ascarids. Lee and Miller reported on the muscular anatomy in the heartworm, but provided little insight into the peripheral nervous system or myoneural relationships. The classical fine-structural description of nematode muscle innervation is Rosenbluth's earlier work in Ascaris. Since the pharmacological effects of some nematacides currently being developed are neuromuscular in nature, a better understanding of heartworm myoneural anatomy, particularly in reference to the synaptic region is warranted.

As spinal motor neurons project to their hindlimb targets, their growth cones avoid particular regions along their pathway. T-cadherin is discretely distributed in the avoided caudal sclerotome and on extrasynaptic muscle surfaces (B. J. Fredette and B. Ranscht (1994) J. Neurosci. 14, 7331–7346), and therefore, the ability of T-cadherin to inhibit neurite growth was tested in vitro. T-cadherin inhibited neurite extension from select neuron populations both as a substratum, and as a soluble recombinant protein. Anti-T-cadherin antibodies neutralized the inhibition. Spinal motor neurons were inhibited only during the stages of axon growth across the sclerotome and muscle innervation. Inhibitory responses corresponded to neuronal T-cadherin expression, suggesting a homophilic binding mechanism. These results suggest that T-cadherin is a negative guidance cue for motor axon projections.
