With increased air travel, tropical diseases are more common. This case highlights larva migrans, a nematode infection from pets, appearing in the mouth, emphasizing the need for awareness.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Global air travel facilitates the spread of infectious diseases.
  • Nematode infections in pets can pose zoonotic risks.
  • Larva migrans is a parasitic condition caused by nematode larvae.

Observation:

  • A case of larva migrans was observed in a human patient.
  • The infection presented in the oral cavity.
  • The suspected source of infection was domestic animals (dogs and cats).

Findings:

  • The case involved a nematode infection presenting as larva migrans.
  • Literature review on similar oral larva migrans cases was conducted.
  • This highlights a rare manifestation of a zoonotic nematode infection.

Implications:

  • Increased vigilance for zoonotic diseases is necessary with global travel.
  • Oral larva migrans, though rare, should be considered in differential diagnoses.
  • Public health awareness regarding pet-borne parasitic infections is crucial.
