The incidence of aortic onchocerciasis due to Onchocerca armillata among slaughtered cattle in Ibadan, Nigeria, was about 2 per cent between 1979 and 1980. The average number of nodules per thoracic aorta was 7 and the mean size of each nodule was 9.7 +/- 2.6 mm. About 54 per cent of the nodules examined were calcified, and nodular calcification appeared to be related to the degree of infection or reinfection with the parasite. The histopathology of the aortic lesions is described.
1979年至1980年间，在尼日利亚伊巴丹屠宰的牛中，因链尾盘尾丝虫导致的主动脉盘尾丝虫病发病率约为2%。胸主动脉上结节的平均数量为7个，每个结节的平均大小为9.7±2.6毫米。所检查的结节中约54%发生了钙化，结节钙化似乎与寄生虫感染或再感染的程度有关。本文描述了主动脉病变的组织病理学。
