Encysted acanthocephalans belonging to the genus Centrorhynchus were found in the body cavities of Sorex araneus (common shrew) and Sorex minutus (pygmy shrew) from Boxworth, Cambridgeshire, U.K. Fifty percent of the male S. araneus and 67% of the male S. minutus examined were found to be infected, with the mean intensity (+/-SD) being 54.3 +/- 91.3 and 14.7 +/- 18.4, respectively. The species of Centrorhynchus in the shrews may be Centrorhynchus aluconis, which is distributed widely in tawny owls, Strix aluco, in the United Kingdom. Shrews appear to serve as paratenic hosts for C. aluconis.
在英国剑桥郡博克斯沃思的普通鼩鼱（Sorex araneus）和侏鼩鼱（Sorex minutus）的体腔中发现了属于Centrorhynchus属的包囊棘头虫。在所检查的雄性普通鼩鼱中，50%被发现受到感染，在雄性侏鼩鼱中这一比例为67%，平均感染强度（±标准差）分别为54.3±91.3和14.7±18.4。鼩鼱体内的Centrorhynchus物种可能是阿鲁科Centrorhynchus（Centrorhynchus aluconis），它在英国的茶色雕鸮（Strix aluco）中广泛分布。鼩鼱似乎是阿鲁科Centrorhynchus的转续宿主。
