Three tracer lambs were grazed each month from December 1979 to September 1980 on pastures infected by Muellerius capillaris. At slaughter, the lesions on the lungs and the parasite population in lungs and jejunal, mediastinal and bronchial lymph nodes were examined. The density and infection of the malacofauna were also recorded. The infection of slugs reached a maximum in February-March, and that of sheep in April-May. The internal life-cycle was characterized by the long duration of third-stage larvae in lymph node. It is postulated that infection of sheep was mainly due to the ingestion of larvae liberated onto the grass after the death of slugs.
1979年12月至1980年9月期间，每月在感染毛细缪勒线虫的牧场上放牧3只示踪羔羊。屠宰时，检查肺部病变以及肺、空肠、纵隔和支气管淋巴结中的寄生虫数量。还记录了软体动物的密度和感染情况。蛞蝓的感染在2月至3月达到高峰，绵羊的感染在4月至5月达到高峰。内循环的特点是淋巴结中第三期幼虫的持续时间较长。据推测，绵羊感染主要是由于摄入了蛞蝓死亡后释放到草地上的幼虫。
