“…As expected, Toxocara cati, compared with T. canis, is more neglected [315], making it difficult to understand that this pathogen affects other domestic and non-domestic animals and humans [316][317][318][319]. Toxocariasis in humans is also neglected, especially in developing countries [320,321]. Very few studies, and even more cases reported, can confirm T. cati infection specifically in humans, by serological or molecular methods, as compared with just toxocariasis or Toxocara spp infection in humans, mainly due to a lack of confirmation or a lack of specific tests to confirm species at diagnosis.…”
