When humans ingest eggs from vegetation in the external environment, the parasite develops in the infected person as an intermediate host. a species most common in Europe, but also found in the U.S., South America, and probably elsewhere; the adult is a whitish, soft, flattened, anulated worm equipped with hooks by which it attaches itself to the nasal mucosa of dogs and other canids; the larvae develop in the liver and lymph nodes of rodents, swine . After multiple instar stages, adult L. serrata have unaligned pores or stigmata along their bodies. After a series of molts, the worm loses its leg-like appendages and tapers from its cone shaped head down to its posterior end. 2012 Apr;24(2):222-7.
