gnathostoma spinigerum

Gnathostoma spinigerum is a spirurid nematode parasite that causes gnathostomiasis, a disease of humans and animals. It is zoonotic and endemic in East and Southeast Asia, where it is associated with raw or undercooked fish dishes. Humans become infected by eating raw or undercooked meat of second intermediate or paratenic hosts containing AL3 larvae. The clinical manifestations include cutaneous, visceral, neurognathostomiasis, and ocular gnathostomiasis. prediksi168 rtp
