Infection in humans follows ingestion of raw or insufficiently cooked infected intermediate hosts. [15] The ingested third-stage larva migrates from the gastric wall and its migration results in the symptoms associated with infection by gnathostomiasis. [3]

Visceral larva migrans (VLM) 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. [1] Nematodes causing such zoonotic infections are Baylisascaris procyonis , [ 2 ] Toxocara canis , [ 3 ] Toxocara cati , [ 3 ] and Ascaris suum . [ 4 ]
Cutaneous larva migrans (abbreviated CLM) is a skin disease in humans, caused by the larvae of various nematode parasites of the hookworm family (Ancylostomatidae).The parasites live in the intestines of dogs, cats, and wild animals; they should not be confused with other members of the hookworm family for which humans are definitive hosts, namely Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus.
Humans can become an aberrant intermediate host by accidentally ingesting eggs of E. multilocularis when handling infected animals or consuming contaminated food, vegetable, and water. Except in rare cases where infected humans are eaten by canines, humans are a dead-end or incidental host (an aberrant intermediate host that does not allow ...
Symptoms of opisthorchiasis are indistinguishable from clonorchiasis. [4] About 80% of infected people have no symptoms, though they can have eosinophilia . [ 1 ] Asymptomatic infection can occur when there are less than 1000 eggs in one gram of feces. [ 1 ]
