Humans become infected by ingesting embryonated eggs from soil or contaminated food.
The gammarids are orally infected when ingesting parasite eggs released in the faeces of the definitive host.
After ingesting the cysticerci, the human volunteers checked their faeces daily for the presence of proglottids.
Consequently, calves and lambs could potentially receive an infective dose from ingesting a few grams of infected livestock faeces.
Stricture formation is frequent after ingesting caustic chemicals such as strong acids or alkalis.
Furthermore, the higher sward heights associated with restricted rabbit access may further reduce the risk of livestock ingesting pellets.
Measures (1994) suggested that the type host, an arboreal snake, was an abnormal host and could have become infected by ingesting a bat.
Humans acquire the infection by ingesting infected molluscs with third-stage infective larvae, which migrate to the brain, spinal cord, and eyes, causing severe clinical manifestations.
