To determine whether increased migration is associated with an increase in incidence of toxocariasis (visceral larva migrans), we analyzed clinical data obtained from immigrants from Latin America. Although infection with Toxocara sp. roundworm larvae is distributed worldwide, seroprevalence is highest in tropical and subtropical areas.
为了确定移民增加是否与旋毛虫病(内脏幼虫移行症)发病率增加有关,我们分析了从拉丁美洲移民获得的临床数据。虽然感染旋毛线虫幼虫在全球范围内分布,但热带和亚热带地区的血清阳性率最高。
