Intestinal later larvae 3, 5, after phase (parasites penetrating intestine) may be severe: bloody or watery diarrhoea, larvae in the faeces. Autoinfection possible: larvae reaching infective stage in the intestine penetrate bowel or perianal skin, are carried to the lungs by blood and enter intestine again viarespiratory tract and mouth. 3 Table 10: verminous parasites
