From a Colorado enterprise annually fattening about 50,000 lambs, 3,664 animals were examined for muscular cysticercosis. Of the total number, 406 (11.1%) were parasitized, wheras an estimated 0.1% of Colorado lamb carcasses are infected. Of the infected lambs, 60% had cardiac lesions. Two types of cysticerci-viable and degenerated-were found. The lambs probably acquired infection from grazing summer ranges and pastures where coyotes or dogs infected with Taenia ovis contaminated the forage.
在科罗拉多州一家每年育肥约50000只羔羊的企业中，对3664只动物进行了肌肉囊尾蚴病检查。在总数中，406只（11.1%）受到寄生，而据估计科罗拉多州羔羊胴体的感染率为0.1%。在受感染的羔羊中，60%有心脏病变。发现了两种类型的囊尾蚴——活的和退化的。这些羔羊可能是在夏季牧场和牧场上放牧时感染的，在那里感染了羊带绦虫的郊狼或狗污染了草料。
