The study was carried at Mirha Exports private limited at Mohali, Punjab, from December 2012 to May 2013 during which 1000 buffaloes of 2-3 years of age slaughtered for meat purposes were screened for the species. Most of the animals examined at anti-mortem appeared normal and clinically healthy. However, at slaughtering, the gross and microscopic examination of representative samples of striated muscles collected from slaughtered buffaloes revealed 95.50 % prevalence of species. Out of 1000 samples examined, 955 samples (95.55 %) were infected with microscopic cysts with size ranging from 19.1 to 95.9 × 10.2 to 68.9 μm cyst, while 6 samples (0.60 %) had mixed infection with macroscopic cyst with size ranging from 1270 to 19,000 × 700 to 7000 μm cyst of white or creamy colour and microscopic cysts. Among the muscles infected with cysts, highest number of cysts were recorded in tongue muscles (87.40 %) followed by oesophageal muscles (83.60 %), cardiac muscles (53 %) and diaphragmatic muscles (31.30 %).
该研究于2012年12月至2013年5月在旁遮普邦莫哈利的米尔哈出口私人有限公司进行，在此期间，对1000头2至3岁用于肉类屠宰的水牛进行了该物种筛查。大多数在宰前检查的动物看起来正常且临床健康。然而，在屠宰时，对从屠宰水牛采集的横纹肌代表性样本进行大体和显微镜检查发现，该物种的感染率为95.50%。在检查的1000个样本中，955个样本（95.55%）感染了大小在19.1至95.9×10.2至68.9μm的显微镜下可见的囊肿，而6个样本（0.60%）有混合感染，包括大小在1270至19000×700至7000μm的白色或奶油色的肉眼可见囊肿和显微镜下可见的囊肿。在感染囊肿的肌肉中，舌肌的囊肿数量最多（87.40%），其次是食管肌（83.60%）、心肌（53%）和膈肌（31.30%）。
