To determine if the rabbit can act as an intermediate host for ascarids from certain carnivorous animals (skunks, pigs, dogs), 12 rabbits were infected with Ascaris columnaris, Ascaris suum, or Toxocara canis. Clinical signs, microscopic lesions, and morphologic features of ascarids with naturally occurring and experimentally induced A columnaris infections were identical. Of the 3 induced parasitic infections, A columnaris caused the most severe lesions in the central nervous system (CNS). It appears that rabbits may potentially act as intermediate hosts for A columnaris.
为了确定兔子是否能作为某些食肉动物（臭鼬、猪、狗）体内蛔虫的中间宿主，12只兔子被感染了柱状蛔虫、猪蛔虫或犬弓首蛔虫。自然发生和实验诱导的柱状蛔虫感染的临床症状、微观病变以及蛔虫的形态特征是相同的。在这3种诱导的寄生虫感染中，柱状蛔虫在中枢神经系统（CNS）中引起的病变最为严重。看来兔子可能潜在地作为柱状蛔虫的中间宿主。
