“…infects several species of mammals and birds (Levine, 1980). In Brazil it has already been found in non-human primates (Oliveira et al, 2019), rodents (Costa Cordeiro et al, 2018), opossums (Quintão e Silva and Costa, 1999), and humans (Waisberg et al, 2018). Human infection, although rare, occurs when intermediate hosts are ingested, in this case, especially beetles and cockroaches of the Blattella Caudell, 1903 genus, which hosts the L3 larva of the parasite.…”
