It causes pentastomiasis and respiratory tract disorder in reptiles or carnivores and herbivorous mammals and rarely human. The reason for the presentation of this case is that Linguatula serrata, a parasite rarely encountered in humans, was found in a patient in Van province. The worm escaped into the posterior segment of the eye where it was found, after lens removal and complete vitrectomy, in a recess of the ciliary body. Infection rates of dogs in Austria are unknown; only 1 case has been reported, and it occurred in a dog imported from the United States (15). A human nasopharyngeal linguatuliasis was reported for the second time in Egypt. Research in Veterinary Science, 84: 243-245. Larval L. serrata normaly measure 3-4 mm. Larvae are primarily non-feeding, encysting in a variety of host tissues.

The species of tongue worms infecting humans are currently classified as Porocephalida: they include Linguatula serrata and Armillifer armillatus (Baird et al., 1988).. Linguatulosis (linguatuliasis) is a disease that is caused as a result of body invasion by worm-like parasites of the genus Linguatula.Dogs, cats and other wild canines are the main definitive hosts for the parasite while . In this study case reports of individuals in Iran those infected with the Linguatula serrata were taken from the international databases (e.g., Medline (PubMed . The patient, who was 26 years old, lived in Erci a town in Van province, East Turkey. Careers. Linguatulosis, as a zoonotic disease, can infect most ruminants and cause accidental infections in humans. Male sperm storage also occurs, as sperm are retained in the male epididymes (in mammals) for a period that can, in some cases, extend over several weeks or more, but here we use the term to refer only to sperm storage by females. Clinical diagnosis was achieved by obtaining a patients history, then completing a clinical examination of the mentioned patients. The PMC legacy view will also be available for a limited time.

If swallowed by the definitive host, the eggs are passed through the feces to the external environment.

Infection rates of small ruminants in the Middle East are significant, as up to 50% of sheep may be infected within a region.
