Gnathostomiasis is an emerging zoonosis in Mexico. However, for most endemic zones, the source of human infection has not been established. During 2000-2003, we investigated 2168 vertebrates (2047 fish, 31 amphibians, 4 reptiles, 19 birds and 67 mammals) from 39 localities distributed in nine states. We registered 7 vertebrate species as new hosts for Gnathostoma, and 22 new locality records for this nematode.
颚口线虫病在墨西哥是一种新出现的人畜共患病。然而，对于大多数流行地区，人类感染源尚未确定。在2000年至2003年期间，我们调查了来自九个州39个地点的2168只脊椎动物（2047条鱼、31只两栖动物、4只爬行动物、19只鸟和67只哺乳动物）。我们记录了7种脊椎动物为颚口线虫的新宿主，以及该线虫的22个新地点记录。
