Toxocara spp., the common roundworms of domestic and wild animals, are the causative agents of larval toxocarosis in humans. The migration of Toxocara larvae in men causes clinical syndrome, called larva migrans visceralis or larva migrans ocularis. The objective of the present work was to investigate the prevalence of toxocarosis in dogs, red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), and small mammals in the Slo...

The intestines and hearts of dogs were examined for Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina, and Dirofilaria immitis, after necropsy between June 26 and September 29, 2004 in Chuncheon, Korea. Of the 662 dogs examined, 6 were infected with T. canis (0.9%), 86 with T. leonina (13.0%). Fifty dogs were infected with D. immitis among 500 dogs examined (10.0%). Five were co-infected with T. canis and T. ...

The muscular strength of experimental infected Rattus norvegicus with 3rd. stage Toxocara canis larvae was investigated. Fifty Wistar rats, divided in three groups (G1-20 rats infected by 300 eggs of T. canis; G2-20 rats infected by 2,000 eggs of T. canis and G3-10 rats without infection) had been used. Ten and 30 days after infection the muscular strength in the fore-feet of the rats was check...

This research was undertaken to determine the seroprevalence of Toxocara canis (T. canis) in children aged 3-13 years in Kütahya, to determine the presence of infected larvae in playground sandboxes, and to obtain a view of the general situation regarding visceral larva migrans (VLM) in the city. The blood sera of 119 children (54 girls, 65 boys) were tested for T. canis IgG, and 9 (7.6%) were ...

We report a case of visceral larva migrans in an adult with fever, night sweats, weight loss, hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, bilateral pleural effusion, and eosinophilia-mimicking lymphoma. Visceral larva migrans was diagnosed subsequently because of negative findings for malignancy and positive serologic test result for Toxocara canis. Progressive improvement was observed with albendaz...

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 (...

This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of Toxocara canis in local districts in North West Bank of Palestine. Fecal samples from 132 dogs were collected in Nablus, Tulkarm, and Jenin cities from September 2008 to April 2009 and examined for T. canis eggs with the floating technique. The overall infection rate of toxocariasis in dogs was 36.4%. The dogs less than 6 months old show...
