Full TextAbstract
Toxocara cati is the roundworm of cats, which humans can infect by ingesting infective eggs in cat faces. Epidemiological studies have shown that infection with Toxocara contributes to the development of allergic manifestations, including asthma. Clinical symptoms such as wheezing, coughing and episodic airflow obstruction have been described for patients infected with this helminth. To investigate the association between infection with Toxocara cati and allergy, we examined the effect of T. cati infection on allergic manifestations by combining a murine model for toxocariasis
