Toxocara is a genus of ascaridid nematodes containing several species of parasitic worms, typical of canids and felids, which only secondarily affect humans. They are cylindrical worms with pointed ends and three lips at their mouth, light pink-pearly in color. Adult females measure around 15 cm, while males are nearly half that length.
