visceral larva migrans

T. cati has been reported as a rare cause of visceral larva migrans in man.

They may be associated with visceral larva migrans.

Apart from its veterinary importance, this species is responsible for the most widely recognised form of visceral larva migrans in man.

Visceral larvae migrans and other unusual helminth infections.

Toxocara causes visceral larva migrans.

Toxocariasis is often called visceral larva migrans (VLM).

High parasitic loads or repeated infection can lead to visceral larva migrans (VLM).

In contrast to visceral larva migrans, ocular toxocariasis usually develops in older children or young adults with no history of pica.

One of these is visceral larva migrans, wherein the larvae are unable to develop in humans as they do in cats and dogs, their natural hosts.

Migration to other tissues (visceral larva migrans), can result in cough, hematuria, ocular (eye) involvement, meningitis, encephalitis and eosinophilia.

Toxocaridae include parasites of canids, felids, and raccoons, but which can unsuccessfully parasitize humans and cause visceral larva migrans.

Visceral larva migrans (human toxocarosis), a parasitary human disease due by Toxocara cati or Toxocara canis.

Visceral larva migrans is a condition in humans caused by the migratory larvae of certain nematodes, humans being a dead-end host, and was first reported in 1952.

If the fish are eaten by humans, the larvae will migrate from the alimentary tract into other tissues, causing a form of visceral larva migrans which can be fatal.

However, visceral larva migrans seems to affect children aged 1-4 more often while ocular larva migrans more frequently affects children aged 7-8.

Infectious pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, visceral larva migrans (Toxocara canis & Toxocara cati) can also cause retinal vasculitis.

Baylisascaris procyonis is a roundworm nematode, found ubiquitously in raccoons, its larvae migrating in the intermediate hosts causing visceral larva migrans (VLM).

Parasitic (ascaris, Echinococcus granulosus, Paragonimus westermani, schistosoma, Taenia solium, Trichinella spiralis, visceral larva migrans, and Wuchereria bancrofti)

The Toxocaridae are a zoonotic family of parasitic nematodes that infect canids and felids and which cause toxocariasis in humans (visceral larva migrans and ocular larva migrans).

Control of visceral larva migrans is based on the anthelmintic regimen described above, on the safe disposal of dog faeces in houses and gardens, and on the limitation of access by dogs to areas where children play, such as public parks.

Humans are usually not infected with T. leonina; however, this parasite has been found in humans in a few instances and is a cause of visceral larva migrans in children, though less frequently implicated than is Toxocara canis, the most common roundworm parasite found in dogs.
