Non-caseating granulomas containing larval spirurid nematodes (Spiroxys contorta) were observed in the gastric submucosa and muscularis externa of two pallid spiny softshells (Apalone spinifera pallida) from northcentral Texas (USA). In early granulomas, nematodes were not surrounded by a fibrous capsule but in older, mature granulomas, a fibrous capsule was present. Granulomas without nematodes also were present.
在美国得克萨斯州中北部的两只苍白带刺软壳龟(Apalone spinifera pallida)的胃黏膜下层和肌层中观察到含有幼虫旋尾线虫(Spiroxys contorta)的非干酪样肉芽肿。在早期肉芽肿中,线虫未被纤维囊包围,但在较老的成熟肉芽肿中,存在纤维囊。也存在没有线虫的肉芽肿。
