Studies were conducted on the pathogenicity and the route of migration to the central nervous system by the immature larval stage of G.spinigerum in experimental animals. Five mice and one rat showed signs of nervous tissue damage and CNS involvement. The significant findings were massive haemorrhagic areas and blood clot around large lower nerve trunk and spinal cord invasion by the worm. The possible roles of the immature larval stages of G.spinigerum in human was discussed.
对棘口线虫未成熟幼虫阶段在实验动物中的致病性及向中枢神经系统的迁移途径进行了研究。五只小鼠和一只大鼠出现了神经组织损伤和中枢神经系统受累的迹象。重要发现为大的下神经干周围出现大量出血区和血凝块，以及蠕虫对脊髓的侵袭。文中讨论了棘口线虫未成熟幼虫阶段在人类中的可能作用。
