- W2340408753 abstract "This study was performed to estimate the seroprevalence of larva migrans of Toxocara canis and identify associated risk factors among children in Mexicali, Mexico. Blood samples (n = 288) were collected randomly from children examined at the IMSS Clinical Laboratory and serum was tested by ELISA. The adjusted seroprevalence of toxocarosis was 10.6% (95% CI, 4.6%-12.7%). The factors evaluated were: 1) number of family members, 2) frequency of child’s visits to parks, 3) administration of anthelmintics to dog(s), 4) indoor/outdoor status of dogs, 5) living conditions of dogs, and 6) dog’s mobilization between house and street. None of the factors showed association with larva migrans. The study emphasizes the importance of maintaining a routine deworming schedule for dogs, limiting the access of dogs into public parks, and educating the public on the health hazards associated with failure to remove pet droppings from park grounds and other public areas. INTRODUCTION Toxocarosis is a zoonotic disease and a public health concern in most countries, although the prevalence of the disease is unknown in many areas.1 Toxocara canis is recognized as the main causative agent of larva migrans in humans. The larvae can invade several different tissues causing a variety of clinical manifestations, including visceral larva migrans and ocular larva migrans, which are primarily seen in children.2 Humans (mainly children) become infected by accidental ingestion of embryonated eggs present in soil contaminated with dog feces.3 The embryonated eggs become infective after 9-11 days at 24°C or 3.5-5 days at 30°C. In areas with dry sandy soil and temperatures higher than 37°C, the larva dies before becoming infective, while regions of similar temperatures with clay soil allow larval survival for up to 2 years.4,5 In humans, the seroprevalence of larva migrans due to T canis has been associated with the prevalence of T canis in dogs, the frequency and type of contact between humans and dogs, geophagy (typically in" @default.
