The ability of Baylisascaris transfuga larvae to cause ocular larva migrans (OLM) in mice was examined. Mice were given approximately 3500 infective eggs of B. transfuga per os. Their eyes were removed and examined either microscopically or histologically at various intervals post-infection. Larvae were recovered beginning 7 days after infection. Histologically, free larvae were observed in the posterior chamber and within the ocular membranes. Larval granulomas were present in the choroid with involvement of retinal layers. It was concluded that B. transfuga larvae have the ability to produce OLM in mice following oral infection and should be considered as possible agents of OLM in other animals and in human beings.
