To observe the possibility of @entity1 @entity9160 due to eating of raw liver of domestic animals, especially of @entity291 , and also to serve as a good reference for adequate sanitary measures, the investigation survey was carried out from May 1975 to May 1976. From the subjects of a l,048 inhabitants (male 558, female 490) in five localities including two Provinces and three different cities, food habit was studied by questionnaire mannual. Larvae isolated from liver tissues of @entity291 , and @entity1707 were identified. Experimental observation on the @entity1573 and @entity19 infected with @entity5603 was undertaken to draw a assumption of possibility inducing @entity1 @entity9160 . The results obtained from the present study are summarized. 1. A part of Korean @entity1 has the habit to eat the livers of @entity291 , fowl, @entity1707 and @entity235 raw. Eating rate of raw beef liver was 37.8% out of l,048 inhabitants, and its rate was higher markedly in male(57.7%) than in female (15. 1%), and the highest rate among the group of 31-40 years old. Eating rate of raw liver of fowl was 5.9%, @entity1707 5.3%, and @entity235 2.5%. 2. Larva recovery rate from beef liver was 11.8% out of 195 samples and 72.0% of total detected 1arvae were identified as Toxocara(=Neoascaris) vitulorum. From @entity1707 liver, larvae of nematoda were found in 6.4% out of 109 samples but no larva was detected from 120 fowl livers. 3. Larvae detected from one-half of tissues and organs of infected @entity1573 with about 2,000 @entity5603 eggs were 8-245 in number, and 85-100% of recovered larvae were from their 1iver tissues. 4. @entity5603 larvae, 45, 31, 42 and 23 in number at 3rd, 14th, 25th and 55th day in one-half of the tissues and organs after @entity281 respectively, were demonstrated from the @entity19 infected with 500 larvae collected from infected @entity1573 liver. Most of the larvae were recovered from the carcass of the @entity19 . It was approved the larvae isolated from @entity1573 possess infectivity to the @entity19 . 5. Typical eosinophilic granulomatous change was not observed in the liver tissue of the infected @entity1573 at 20th day after @entity281 . As it summarized above, the liver of various domestic animals is the favorite tissue for migration of @entity2199 larvae. Therefore, the possibility of @entity1 @entity9160 may be induced due to eating of raw liver of domestic animals.
