T1  - Transmission of Armillifer armillatus Ova at Snake Farm, The Gambia, West Africa
JF  - Emerging Infectious Diseases
N2  - Visceral pentastomiasis caused by Armillifer armillatus larvae was diagnosed in 2 dogs in The Gambia. Parasites were subjected to PCR; phylogenetic analysis confirmed relatedness with branchiurans/crustaceans. Our investigation highlights transmission of infective A. armillatus ova to dogs and, by serologic evidence, also to 1 human, demonstrating a public health concern.
