J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1980 Mar;43(3):281-2. doi: 10.1136/jnnp.43.3.281.

In a deltoid biopsy from a severe case of human trichinosis the larvae of Trichinella spiralis did not exhibit any predilection for any particular fibre type. Type I and type II fibres were involved with a frequency proportionate to their distribution in the muscle sampled.

在一例严重人体旋毛虫病患者的三角肌活检中，旋毛虫幼虫对任何特定纤维类型均无偏好。I型和II型纤维受累，其频率与它们在所取肌肉中的分布比例相称。
