متن کاملRecovering of Toxocara canis eggs from samples of experimentally contaminated soil.
Human infections by Toxocara canis or Toxocara cati larvae are frequent and have a cosmopolitan distribution resulting, sometimes, in the occurrence of visceral larva migrans syndrome. Ingestion of embryonated Toxocara eggs, present in the superficial layers of the soil, represents the most important way for human infection by these ascarids. Therefore, contact with contaminated soil is conside...
متن کاملFungal ovicidal activity on Toxocara canis eggs.
BACKGROUND Visceral toxocariasis is a parasitic zoonosis caused by Toxocara canis. The prevalence of this parasite in dogs, soil contamination and the resistance of eggs increase human exposure to the disease. Moreover, the difficulties of the control measures justify the need for alternative ones. AIMS The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro ovicidal activity of fungi isolat...
