Sparganosis is a parasitic infection caused by the larvae of certain tapeworms. it is spread through contaminated food or water, or by contact with an infected animal, such as a frog or snake. symptoms of sparganosis can include fever, abdominal pain, and swelling of the affected area. in more serious cases, the larvae can migrate to other organs and cause damage.
What happens during the disease - sparganosis
Sparganosis is a parasitic infection caused by a tapeworm. it is acquired by consuming undercooked or raw fish, frogs, or snakes that contain the larvae of the tapeworm. the larvae then migrate to other parts of the body, such as the brain, eyes, and other organs, where they can cause inflammation, tissue damage, and other symptoms. in some cases, the larvae can form cysts that can cause further damage to the affected organs. treatment involves the use of anti-parasitic medications and, in some cases, surgery to remove the cysts.
