Abstract | ||||
Certain nematodes utilize milk as a means of transfer from one host to another. The transmammary passage of Toxocara vitulorum is very rare. Only one buffalo (out of 42 buffaloes and cows) proved to have Toxocara vitulorum larvae in its milk which may be an indicative of the transmammary transmission. The appearance of T.vitulorum eggs in faeces of calves born from experimentally infected buffaloes is attributed to the transplacental infection. | ||||
