Since 1975, increasing numbers of patients with inflammatory, migrant, recidivant nodules were observed in the towns of Temazcal, state of Oaxaca, Tierra Blanca, Veracruz and others along the Papaloapan river. Larvae of Gnathostoma sp. have been obtained from some of them. The local species, although not completely identified, must be very close to G. spinigerum. Infection is related to ingestion of "ceviche", a very popular mexican delicacy made with raw Cyclid fishes of the Miguel Aleman dam. Ecological and social changes provoked by the construction of the dam and hypotheticaly related to the dissemination of the parasite are described. As the Temazcal Fish Culture Center has delivered tilapia fishes to many secondary culture centers, it is feared that the infection could spread through the country, so signs and symptoms of the disease are described in order to help Mexican doctors make the diagnosis if they were to encounter the disease.
自1975年以来，在瓦哈卡州的特马兹卡尔镇、韦拉克鲁斯州的蒂拉布兰卡以及帕帕洛阿潘河沿岸的其他一些城镇，观察到患有炎症性、游走性、复发性结节的患者数量不断增加。从其中一些患者身上获取了颚口线虫属的幼虫。当地的物种虽然尚未完全鉴定，但肯定与棘颚口线虫非常接近。感染与食用“ceviche”有关，“ceviche”是一种非常受欢迎的墨西哥美食，由米格尔·阿莱曼大坝的生丽鱼科鱼类制作而成。描述了大坝建设引发的生态和社会变化以及可能与寄生虫传播相关的情况。由于特马兹卡尔鱼类养殖中心已向许多二级养殖中心运送罗非鱼，人们担心感染可能会在全国传播，因此描述了该疾病的体征和症状，以帮助墨西哥医生在遇到该疾病时进行诊断。
