		The life cycle of Toxocara canis, a common roundworm of dogs, is similar to that of Ascaris lumbricoides, but with a few additional frills.
		Rather, they remain in the dog's tissues as "second stage somatic larvae." If these second stage somatic larvae are in a female and she gets pregnant, transplacental infection of the fetus will occur.
		Humans can also be infected with second stage somatic larvae of Toxocara canis, as well as the larvae of other species of nematodes, resulting in a condition known as visceral larval migrans or VLM.
