An ascarid nematode found primarily in the small intestine of the larger
Felidae
as well as
dogs
and
cats
. It differs from
TOXOCARA
in that the larvae do not migrate through the lungs. It does occasionally produce visceral
larva migrans
(LARVA MIGRANS, VISCERAL) in man, although more rarely than does
Toxocara.
