Presentation
There is a risk to the sight, particularly in children, from an infection called toxocariasis which is caused by a parasite present in animal faeces, predominantly dogs. [it.bab.la]
The natural final host is the arctic fox; sledge dogs were kept in large numbers by the Yup'ik residents of the island, and voles were most commonly affected where dogs were present. [bioone.org]
Entire Body System
- Asymptomatic
The patients were divided into three groups: asymptomatic children (n 5 24), those with visceral larva migrans (n 5 16) and those with ocular larva migrans (n 5 14). [analesdepediatria.org]
- Fever
Results The clinical features were as follows: 24 children (44.4%) were asymptomatic, pneumonitis was found in 9 (16.7 %), hepatomegaly in 6 (11.1 %), acute posterior uveitis in 5 (9.3 %), strabismus in 5 (9.3 %), leukocoria in 4 (7.4 %), fever in 3 [analesdepediatria.org]

Ocular larva migrans is the least common but potentially most serious type of toxocariasis. While cases are rare, toxocariasis can cause a variety of serious problems in the body. [it.bab.la]

Treatment
The patients received treatment with albendazole 10-15mg/kg/day for 15 days or thiabendazole 25 mg/kg/day in two series of 7 days. [analesdepediatria.org]
The Oxyurida and Rhigonematida are occasionally placed in the Ascaridida as superfamily Oxyuroidea, but while they seem indeed to be Spiruria, they are not as close to Ascaris as such a treatment would place them.[1] These "worms" contain a number of [en.wikipedia.org]

Prevention
Repeated exposure of voles apparently intensified the immune response to the extent that larvae from exposure subsequent to the first were retarded in development and might have been prevented from completing migration to the musculature. [bioone.org]
