Abstract
Infection with Gnathostoma spinigerum has been generally confined to Southeast Asia and Central and South America. However, gnathostomiasis was recently found in British tourists who had visited Botswana. Consequently, travel to Africa should now be considered a risk factor for gnathostomiasis.
摘要
棘颚口线虫感染通常局限于东南亚以及中美洲和南美洲。然而，最近在去过博茨瓦纳的英国游客中发现了颚口线虫病。因此，现在前往非洲旅行应被视为颚口线虫病的一个风险因素。
