Tetrathyridia of Mesocestoides leptothylacus Loos-Frank, 1980 were found in 1.4% of 513 common voles (Microtus arvalis) in a district of Southwest Germany where foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are frequently infected with this tapeworm. The tetrathyridia measured 1 to 1.5 mm in length and 0.5 to 1 mm in width. When injected intraperitoneally into white mice, jirds, or common voles, the tetrathyridia did not multiply. Cats fed with the larvae shed proglottids from the 21st day onwards. In one experimentally infected silver-fox proglottids were passed from day 12 onwards. One human subject infected twice with tetrathyridia of M. leptothylacus, did not develop patent infections. One common vole from another district contained tetrathyridia of a Mesocestoides species, which is rarely found in indigenous foxes and which is characterized by a broad-oval cirrus pouch with a much convoluted cirrus.
在德国西南部某地区，在513只普通田鼠（草原田鼠）中有1.4%发现了细颈中绦虫的四盘蚴（1980年，洛斯 - 弗兰克），该地区的狐狸（赤狐）经常感染这种绦虫。四盘蚴长1至1.5毫米，宽0.5至1毫米。当腹腔注射到小白鼠、沙鼠或普通田鼠体内时，四盘蚴不会增殖。喂食幼虫的猫从第21天起排出节片。在一只实验感染的银狐中，从第12天起排出节片。一名人类受试者两次感染细颈中绦虫的四盘蚴，但未形成显性感染。来自另一个地区的一只普通田鼠体内含有一种中绦虫属物种的四盘蚴，这种物种在本地狐狸中很少见，其特征是有一个宽椭圆形的阴茎囊，阴茎高度卷曲。
