Update on Toxocara species and toxocarosis

The Veterinary Nurse, 2014
Toxocara species eggs are produced by adult worms in the intestine of the fox, dog and cat definitive hosts. In the environment, third stage larvae develop inside the eggs and once developed, the larvae are infective. The relative contribution of the three species of definitive hosts depends on the population size, the prevalence and intensity of ...

Toxocarosis

2011
Toxocara canis and the syndromes of visceral and ocular larva migrans (VLM, OLM), covert toxocarosis, and neurological toxocarosis are described. Other potential agents, particularly Toxocara cati and Baylisascaris procyonis , are described. The transmission dynamics of toxocarosis to humans have never been fully elucidated, but the potential roles of ...

Seroprevalence and incidence of human toxocarosis in Russia

2020
Overall incidence of toxocariasis in Russia is low and varies between 1.6 and 2.7 per 100,000, while in several hyper-endemic regions, such as Altay, Kurgan, Perm and Udmurtia, it reaches 43 per 100,000. The seroprevalence of toxocariasis in published references was on average 16% and varied across the regions of Russia from negligible in North Siberia

Toxocarosis in the South of Russia: epidemiological and environmental aspects

Infekcionnye bolezni, 2021
Toxocarosis is a widespread parasitic infection and a significant healthcare challenge. Humans can be infected through contacts with animals and soil contaminated by eggs of Toxocara сanis. Children aged 3–5 years are particularly vulnerable population because of their active contact with soil.

Toxocarosis

1998
Abstract This chapter discusses the role of Toxocara canis in the syndromes of visceral, ocular, and covert toxocarosis (VT, OT, CT). While the transmission dynamics of T. canis to humans have never been fully elucidated, the potential roles of pet dogs, stray dogs, and foxes, and the influence of their population densities and the ...

Toxocara and toxocarosis a roundtable discussion

Companion Animal, 2016
Foreword Toxocara spp. infection in dogs and cats is often taken for granted, although it can cause illness in puppies/kittens, and insufficient research has been carried out in recent decades. Human infection with these parasites, toxocarosis, has been recognised as a neglected disease. The recent publication of a draft genome for T. canis may lead to

DISTRIBUTION OF TOXOCAROSIS OF DOGS AND CATS IN TAJIKISTAN

Biosafety and Biotechnology, 2022
domestic dogs and cats play an important role in the transmission of the helminthic zoonotic agent, like the toxocara worm, which is directly transmitted from domestic animals to the human environment without the involvement of vectors or intermediate hosts.

Immunomodulative effect of muramyldipeptide in mice with larval toxocarosis

Parasitology Research, 1999
The phagocytic ability of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, the metabolic activity of peritoneal macrophages, the proliferative response of T- and B-cells, and the production of specific anti-Toxocara antibodies were studied in paratenic hosts with experimental larval toxocarosis after treatment with the immunomodulator muramyldipeptide for 119 days ...

Severe meningoencephalomyelitis due to CNS-Toxocarosis

Journal of Neurology, 2010
CNS-Toxocarosis is a rare clinical manifestation of Toxocara canis or Toxocara catis infection. Commonly, blood or CSF-eosinophilia directs investigations towards a parasitic origin of the syndrome. We describe a patient with severe eosinophilic meningoencephalomyelitis due to a Toxocara infection.

Preventive treatment against toxocarosis in bovine calves

Veterinary Parasitology, 1992
Treatment of bovine calves 10-16 days old with an anthelmintic which is effective against immature Toxocara vitulorum killed the parasites, there was no new infection and recontamination of the environment was precluded. When the management of the program was delegated to the livestock officers, approximately 3% of calves scheduled for treatment ...
