The implications of the confused taxonomy of the genus Mesocestoides and the misuse of the name M. lineatus are described. In Southwest Germany rodents are intermediate hosts and red foxes are definitive hosts of M. leptothylacus. The shedding patterns of experimentally infected foxes showed that destrobilation occurs frequently and that there are long periods during which no gravid proglottids are shed at all. Lengths of worms can be taken as a measure of a possible crowding effect only when worms with gravid segments are present, i.e. at the end of the prepatent period (11 to 13 days) or at the beginning of a shedding period.
本文描述了中殖孔绦虫属分类混乱以及线中殖孔绦虫名称误用的影响。在德国西南部，啮齿动物是细颈中殖孔绦虫的中间宿主，赤狐是其终末宿主。对实验感染狐狸的排虫模式研究表明，节片脱落现象频繁发生，且存在长时间根本不排出孕节的情况。只有当虫体带有孕节时，即潜伏期结束时（11至13天）或排虫期开始时，虫体长度才可作为可能的拥挤效应的衡量指标。
