The intestinal morphology of rats given one, 10 or 100 cysticercoids of hymenolepis diminuta was examined by scanning electron microscopy. The presence of this tapeworm causes extensive villous atrophy and fusion. The most extreme changes in mucosal architecture were observed adjacent to the mature proglottides of the worm and in these areas the villi were reduced either to flattened plate-like structures or to low irregularly shaped undulations. The presence of one large H. diminuta resulted in more severe pathological damage than caused by several smaller worms. Colonization of the upper region of the ileum by long filamentous bacteria was also observed in rats infected with H. diminuta.
通过扫描电子显微镜检查给予1个、10个或100个微小膜壳绦虫囊尾蚴的大鼠的肠道形态。这种绦虫的存在会导致广泛的绒毛萎缩和融合。在靠近虫体成熟节片的区域观察到黏膜结构最极端的变化，在这些区域，绒毛要么减少为扁平的板状结构，要么减少为低的不规则形状的起伏。1条大型微小膜壳绦虫造成的病理损伤比几条较小的绦虫更严重。在感染微小膜壳绦虫的大鼠中还观察到长丝状细菌在回肠上部区域的定植。
