Figure 1 Toxocara canis eggs, some containing infective larvae, taken under direct interference contrast (DIC) microscopy. Toxocara spp. commonly parasitize dogs and cats. Humans may become infected by ingesting larvated eggs (from contaminated soil or vegetables) or larvae in undercooked animal tissue. Administration of broad-spectrum parasiticides along with regular veterinary care can help control these and other zoonotic infections. Toxocara image provided by Dwight D. Bowman.
