Twelve of 102 woodchucks submitted for necropsy to the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine had clinical histories of central nervous system disorder. All had multifocal eosinophilic encephalitis with formation of granulomas. Nematode larvae, identified as Baylisascaris sp. were found in six of the 12 and were assumed to be the etiologic agent in all affected woodchucks. Both wild and captive (wild-trapped) woodchucks were affected, and all occurrences were between mid-June and early September.
提交给纽约州兽医学院进行尸检的102只土拨鼠中，有12只具有中枢神经系统疾病的临床病史。所有病例均有多灶性嗜酸性脑炎并形成肉芽肿。在12只中的6只发现了被鉴定为贝利斯蛔虫属的线虫幼虫，并假定其为所有患病土拨鼠的病原体。野生和圈养（野生捕获）的土拨鼠均受到影响，所有病例均发生在6月中旬至9月初之间。
