Toxocaridae
From Freepedia
Toxocaridae is a family of parasitic nematodes that infect canids and felids and which can cause visceral larval migrans in humans. In humans, the worms cannot reproduce.
Two important species include:
- Toxocara canis, which infects dogs, and which has rodent and bird intermediate hosts.
- Toxocara cati, which infects cats and which lacks intermediate hosts.
