Two horses were presented with complaints of chronic weight loss and subcutaneous oedema, one of them presenting diarrhoea. Both animals were grazed with other unaffected horses, all of them being regularly dewormed. Blood chemistry revealed hypoalbuminaemia and a low albumin-globulin ratio. Faecal egg counts were negative and no cyathostome larvae could be found in the faeces. Neither of these horses could be saved, despite intensive treatment. Postmortem examination revealed severe typhlitis and colitis due to numerous inhibited cyathostome larvae.
两匹马出现慢性体重减轻和皮下水肿的症状，其中一匹还伴有腹泻。这两匹马与其他未受影响的马一起放牧，所有马匹都定期进行驱虫。血液生化检查显示低白蛋白血症和低白蛋白球蛋白比值。粪便虫卵计数为阴性，粪便中未发现圆线虫幼虫。尽管进行了强化治疗，这两匹马均未能挽救过来。尸检显示，由于大量处于抑制期的圆线虫幼虫，导致严重的盲肠炎和结肠炎。
