Toxocara canis and T. cati are among the most widely distributed helminthic species in the world with a high zoonotic impact. Millions of people are infecteda and hundreds of thousands are suffering from toxocarosis, a disease encompassing four different entities: larva migrans visceralis (VLM) syndrome, ocular larva migrans (OLM) syndrome, covert toxocarosis (covT), common toxocarosis (comT) and neurotoxocarosis (NT). Toxocara infections in humans may remain clinically inapparent but may also induce severe diseases. This contribution gives a synoptic overview of the most important historical, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutical aspects of toxocarosis in humans.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Parasitology is recognised as a leading review serial which is consistently well placed in terms of impact factor and citations. Major reviews on all aspects of medical, veterinary and wild-life parasitology are considered. The journal provides an outlet for authoritative reviews from experts in the field. While emphasis is given to modern molecular approaches contributions across all disciplines are encouraged including traditional areas such as ecology and taxonomy. Eclectic volumes are supplemented by thematic volumes dedicated to a particular topic of recognised interest and importance.
