| Sumario: | Human toxocariosis is considered the most prevalent helminthic parasitosis in the world. It is a zoonosis that is related to socio-economic and environmental hygiene factors. In the northeastern region of Argentina, the significant seroprevalence suggests that it is a frequently neglected public health problem. Since 1997, at the Regional Medicine Institute and the General Microbiology Department, both from UNNE, we have extensively addressed the study of this parasitosis from various perspectives. We present our experience in serological diagnosis with the intention of contributing to the knowledge of toxocariosis and promoting the dissemination of diagnostic methodologies. |
