Cover Story: Human toxocariasis is a disease caused by the ingestion of Toxocara spp. embryonated eggs released by infected dogs and/or cats. The infection triggers immunological responses often associated with allergic symptoms. Changes in lifestyle are associated with this infection, especially in developing countries, such as Brazil. This study built a roadmap for Toxocara spp. infection based on immunodiagnostic results and sociodemographic variables, analyzing clinical features related to allergic symptoms. This infection was associated with individuals in the third age group and contact with cats or dogs. A higher maternal education level and paved streets were considered as protective factors against infection. Also, infected individuals showed higher levels of IL-10 and eosinophils. Understanding the risk factors for this infection is pivotal for managing this disease. View this paper
