Toxocariasis is a public health problem. Man acts as an unnatural
host in which Toxocara larvae does not develop but migrate and
survive for a long time. The mode of transmission to humans is by
oral ingestion of infective Toxocara eggs from contaminated soil
(sapro-zoonoses), unwashed hands or consumption of raw vegetables.
Some infections may occur from ingestion of larvae in undercooked
organs and muscle tissues of infected paratenic hosts such as
chickens, cattle and sheep. Transmission to the second generation
is theoretically possible by infective larvae of canine ascarid
nematode Toxocara canis, a ubiquitous parasite of dogs in temperate
and warm climates. This book give a brief overview of Toxocariasis
and presents a detailed study of the zoonotic disease in human
populations of the valley of Kashmir.
