Experimental infection in mice with larvae of Baylisascaris transfuga (Nematoda).
B. transfuga larvae migrated in livers, lungs and brains of experimentally infected mice. B. transfuga larvae have never been reported as etiologic agents of visceral larva migrans, but our results show that they have a migration in experimental paratenic hosts of a type that suggests their possible role in this syndrome.
