Endoparasites with Zoonotic Potential in Domesticated Dogs

چکیده
Contact with the soil, fomites or hands contaminated with the animals’ feces favors accidental human infection either through ingestion of Toxocara canis embryonic eggs, resulting in Visceral Larva Migrans (VLM) syndrome (Coelho et al., 2001), or through percutaneous penetration of Ancylostoma caninum and Ancylostoma braziliense infective larvae, causing Cutaneous Larva Migrans (CLM) Syndrome (Diba et al., 2004).
