WHAT DOES TOXOCARIASIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

toxocariasis

Toxocariasis

Toxocariasis is an illness of humans caused by larvae of either the dog roundworm, the cat roundworm or the fox. Toxocariasis is often called visceral larva migrans. Depending on geographic location, degree of eosinophilia, eye and/or pulmonary signs the terms ocular larva migrans, Weingarten's disease, Frimodt-Møller's syndrome, and eosiniphilic pseudoleukemia are applied to toxocariasis. Other terms sometimes or rarely used include nematode ophthalmitis, toxocaral disease, toxocarose, and covert toxocariasis. This zoonotic, helminthic infection is a major cause of blindness and may provoke rheumatic, neurologic, or asthmatic symptoms. Humans normally become infected by ingestion of embryonated eggs from contaminated sources. Toxocara canis and Toxocara cati are perhaps the most ubiquitous gastrointestinal worms of domestic dogs and cats and foxes. There are many 'accidental' or paratenic hosts including humans, birds, pigs, rodents, goats, monkeys, and rabbits. In paratenic hosts the larvae never mature and remain at the L2 stage.

Definition of toxocariasis in the English dictionary
