Prevalence of patent Toxocara spp. infections in dogs and cats in Europe from 1994 to 2019.

CONCLUSION: The prevalence of patent Toxocara infections over the last 25 years did not show a distinct declining trend. Prevalence data provided by recent modern antigen tests showed much lower results than from older studies. Results from studies using less diverse methods and well-defined study-populations could provide more clarity.
