During a study on the effects of nodulectomy on onchocerciasis in a village in the Liberian rain-forest 400 Onchocerca-nodules were excised from 34 inhabitants. The analysis of the nodules revealed a worm burden of 718 complete live male and 1062 complete live female worms as well as 9 male and 117 female worms which were mostly calcified and degenerating. 73% of the live females contained developing embryos or released microfilariae, the other females either contained eggs or showed empty uteri. Some observations were made on degenerating worms. The male:female sex ratio was 1:1.5 and possible reasons for this are discussed.
在利比里亚雨林某村庄进行的一项关于结节切除术对盘尾丝虫病影响的研究中，从34名居民身上切除了400个盘尾丝虫结节。对这些结节的分析显示，虫负荷包括718条完整的活雄虫和1062条完整的活雌虫，以及9条雄虫和117条雌虫，后者大多已钙化并正在退化。73%的活雌虫含有发育中的胚胎或释放出微丝蚴，其他雌虫要么含有虫卵，要么子宫为空。对正在退化的虫体进行了一些观察。雄雌性别比为1:1.5，并对其可能的原因进行了讨论。
