The intestinal tracts of 363 horses were examined after slaughter at a horse abattoir. The presence or absence of Anoplocephala perfoliata and the sites of attachment were recorded. A total of 51 per cent of the horses had A perfoliata attached to the mucosa of the ileocaecal junction and/or to the caecal mucosa; 5 per cent of the horses had A perfoliata attached only to the mucosa of the ileocaecal junction, 24 per cent had A perfoliata attached only to the caecal mucosa and 22 per cent of the horses had A perfoliata attached at both sites. The degree of infestation did not appear to be influenced by the season or by the age, breed or source of origin of the horses. The lesions at the sites of attachment included congestion, oedema, ulceration, diphtheresis, mucosal thickening, eosinophil infiltration and fibroplasia. The severity of the lesions was exacerbated by increasing numbers of worms.
在一家马匹屠宰场对363匹马的肠道进行了屠宰后检查。记录了叶状裸头绦虫的有无及其附着部位。共有51%的马的回盲结合处黏膜和/或盲肠黏膜附着有叶状裸头绦虫；5%的马的叶状裸头绦虫仅附着于回盲结合处黏膜，24%的马的叶状裸头绦虫仅附着于盲肠黏膜，22%的马的叶状裸头绦虫在两个部位均有附着。感染程度似乎不受季节、马匹年龄、品种或来源地的影响。附着部位的病变包括充血、水肿、溃疡、假膜形成、黏膜增厚、嗜酸性粒细胞浸润和纤维增生。蠕虫数量增加会加剧病变的严重程度。
