A member asked:

Is baylisascaris procyonis present in india?can it be caused from dog stools?is it transmitted only by oral ingestion or even through open cut wounds?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There is another: Species of this roundworm in india that can be found in bears. I am not sure that procyonis is found there. Dogs may be infected with b procyonis and may shed eggs in the stool. Infection is spread by ingesting eggs in the soil.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
