A common feature among many of these species is low host specificity, which facilitates zoonotic transmission. Associated disease varies widely by the tissue impacted, and some manifestations such as invasion of the central nervous system (CNS) may prove fatal. Diagnosis is difficult for several discussed agents due to a lack of infectious stages shed in feces or blood and relies on serology, imaging, or biopsy. Thus, the true incidence and impact of tissue nematode infections could be underestimated Table 127-1.
