Gross and histopathologic changes due to infection with Progamotaenia festiva and P. effigia in the bile ducts of the marsupials, Macropus rufus, M. giganteus, M. fuliginosus, Lagorchestes conspicillatus, Vombatus ursinus and Lasiorhinus latifrons are described. The integrity of the bile duct mucosa was not impaired but varying degrees of hyperplasia and hypertrophy of mucosa and mucosal glands, inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis were found. Portal fibrosis was the prominent reaction in Lasiorhinus latifrons. Reduced prevalence of cestode infection was recorded in two populations of M. giganteus in which Fasciola hepatica also was recovered.
描述了在有袋动物红大袋鼠、大赤袋鼠、烟色大袋鼠、翎颌兔袋鼠、毛鼻袋熊和宽脸长鼻袋熊的胆管中，因感染节日原绦虫和拟态原绦虫而出现的大体和组织病理学变化。胆管黏膜的完整性未受损害，但发现黏膜和黏膜腺有不同程度的增生和肥大、炎症浸润及纤维化。在宽脸长鼻袋熊中，门脉纤维化是主要反应。在两个同时也检出肝片吸虫的大赤袋鼠种群中，绦虫感染的发生率有所降低。
