Toxocariosis is an illness of humans caused by larva (immature worms) of either the dog roundworm (Toxocara canis), the cat roundworm (Toxocara cati) or the fox roundworm (Toxocara canis). Toxocariasis is often called visceral larva migrans (VLM). Depending on geographic location, degree of eosinophilia, eye and/or pulmonary signs the terms ocular larva migrans (OLM), Weingarten’s disease, Frimodt-Moller’s syndrome, and eosinophilic pseudoleukemia are applied to toxocariasis.
