dc.description.abstract© 2014 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved. Humans are infected with Gnathostoma spinigerum larva, a parasitic nematode, by eating raw or insufficiently cooked freshwater fish. This parasite is distributed mainly in Asian countries and further in nonendemic countries as per published reports. Gnathostoma larvae can move randomly in human body and cause two main symptoms: skin swellings and organ invasion syndromes. Laboratory examinations in humans have been done by symptoms accompanying with sero-tests or confirmed by worm removal. Owing to the main transmission by eating fish - intermediate host or other animal-paratenic hosts, an inspection for industrial and home products of food materials made from those animals is recommended. Well cooked meat with heat is a good practice for food safety.en_US
