这项工作已经证明，在苏格兰较重要的树状小球藻流行地区之一，携带着感染意大利螺旋菌的菌落，这些菌落与蚂蚁Formica fusca生活在一起。蚂蚁工作人员在摄入粘液球后，获得了典型的囊尾蚴，并在绵羊和仓鼠体内形成了成熟的柳叶虫，卵分别在56天和48天后出现在粪便中。被注射更多包囊的仓鼠的卵子计数更高。这是在英国首次发现蚂蚁的中间宿主。
The work has demonstrated that one of the more important areas of Scotland where Dicrocoelium dendriticum is endemic carried infected colonies of Helicella itala which live in association with the ant Formica fusca. Workers of the ant were shown to acquire typical metacercarial cysts after the ingestion of slime balls, and the cysts gave rise to mature lancet flukes in sheep and hamsters, eggs appearing in the faeces after 56 and 48 days respectively. Higher egg counts were obtained from hamsters to which more cysts were administered. This is the first occasion on which an ant intermediate host has been demonstrated for Dicrocoelium in Britain.
