Human gnathostomiasis: A review on the biology of the parasite with special reference on the current therapeutic management [PDF]
Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2023 Gnathostoma is a parasitic nematode that can infect a wide range of animal species, but human populations have become accidental hosts because of their habit of eating raw or undercooked meat from a wide variety of intermediate hosts.

Autochthonous Gnathostomiasis in Madagascar [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 We used molecular tools to identify an autochthonous case of gnathostomiasis in Madagascar. This severe ocular infection, caused by Gnathostoma spinigerum nematodes, led to vision loss in the patient’s left eye.
