The 33.1 kDa Excretory/secretory Protein Produced by Larvae Serves as a Potential Common Biomarker for Serodiagnosis of Toxocariasis in Paratenic Animals and Human.

Background: Toxocariasis is a prevalent zoonosis disease caused by the closely related nematode species and which parasitise Canidae and Felidae respectively. In paratenic hosts, larvae of these worms cause multiple organ damage. However, how these paratenic hosts response to these worms and whether any common biomarker can be applied for diagnosis are still unclear.
