The aim of this note was to record for the first time the recovery of
Toxocara canis
larvae from tissues and organs of
Rattus norvegicus
(Berkenhout, 1769), Wistar strain, until the 60th day after experimental infection. Rats were orally infected with embryonated
T. canis eggs, killed on days 3, 5, 8, 10, 15, 30, and 60 after inoculation and larvae were recovered from liver, lungs, kidneys, brain, and carcass after acid digestion, showing a pattern of migration similar of that previously observed in mice.
