| Abstract: | Introduction: Migration of Toxocara canis larvae was investigated in male and female Rattus norvegicus. Methods: Eighteen male and 18 female R. norvegicus were infected with 300 T. canis eggs. Three male and three female rats were euthanized at 3, 7, 10, 15, 30, and 60 days post-infection, and T. canis larvae were recovered by means of organ and tissue digestion. Results: Female rats showed a greater number of larvae in the liver than males. Conclusions: Paratenic host sex influences the migration pattern of T. canis larvae. |
