Kids, 6-28 weeks of age, infected with 200-1000 infective larvae of meningeal worm (Pneumostrongylus tenuis) of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), developed colitis and peritonitis. Bacteroides sp., Bacillus sp., Escherichia coli, Proteus sp. and Enterococcus sp. were found in the peritoneal cavity. Most kids were moribund or dead 4-11 days after infection and frequently the colon had ruptured. Only two kids (of 11) in which the disease was allowed to run its course survived colitis and peritonitis but these two animals developed severe neurologic signs 18 and 38 days after infection. Numerous developing worms and various traumatic and other lesions were found in the central nervous system of kids which developed neurologic signs.
6至28周龄的幼鹿感染了200至1000条白尾鹿(弗吉尼亚鹿)的脑膜线虫(细颈气囊线虫)感染性幼虫后,出现了结肠炎和腹膜炎。在腹腔中发现了拟杆菌属、芽孢杆菌属、大肠杆菌、变形杆菌属和肠球菌属。大多数幼鹿在感染后4至11天濒死或死亡,结肠经常破裂。在11只幼鹿中,只有两只任疾病自然发展的幼鹿在结肠炎和腹膜炎中存活下来,但这两只动物在感染后18天和38天出现了严重的神经症状。在出现神经症状的幼鹿中枢神经系统中发现了大量发育中的蠕虫以及各种创伤性和其他病变。
