Toxocariasis is a neglected zoonosis worldwide, especially in tropical climate areas, with T. canis larvae frequently attributed. Man can also be infected by the ingestion of embryonated eggs containing the third stage larva. Because humans are paratenic hosts, the larvae cannot establish themselves in the intestine, and thus migrate to other organs, causing the visceral larva migrans, oc…
Toxocariasis is a zoonosis of public health significance, caused by infection with embryonated eggs of Toxocara canis or T. cati. In humans, different types of clinical syndromes have been identified: Visceral larva migrans (VLM), ocular larva migrans (OLM), Covert toxocariasis (CT) and sometimes neurotoxocariasis (NT). Because being a paratenic host, the parasite does not develop in man …
