Wild populations of the sagebrush lizard (Sceloporus graciosus) are reported as paratenic hosts for third stage larvae of Ascarops sp. Larvae were found in stomach submucosal granulomas which averaged 350 microns in diameter and consisted of histiocytes and layers of fibrocytes. Prevalence of infection was 16% (27 of 170 infected); mean intensity was 3 (1 to 8 nematodes/host). Prevalence was significantly higher in male than female lizards.
据报道,艾草松鸡蜥蜴(Sceloporus graciosus)的野生种群是食蛔属(Ascarops sp.)第三期幼虫的转续宿主。在胃黏膜下肉芽肿中发现了幼虫,这些肉芽肿的直径平均为350微米,由组织细胞和成纤维细胞层组成。感染率为16%(170只受感染蜥蜴中有27只);平均感染强度为3(每只宿主1至8条线虫)。雄性蜥蜴的感染率显著高于雌性蜥蜴。
