Furthermore, it provides support to the hypothesis that the risk of ileal impaction colic and spasmodic colic increases with tapeworm infection intensity. (Proudman)Changes in weather and feeding practices in the Fall may account for an increased risk of ileal impaction in horses in the southeastern United States at that time of year.(Hanson)

Furthermore, it provides support to the hypothesis that the risk of ileal impaction colic and spasmodic colic thehost IgG(T) response to 12/13 kDa antigens of A. perfoliata increases with tapeworm infection intensity.
