Humans can be infected with the larvae by walking barefoot on sandy beaches or contacting moist soft soil that have been contaminated with animal faeces.
It is also known as creeping eruption as once infected, the larvae migrate under the skin's surface and cause itchy red lines or tracks.
However, in a human host, the larvae are unable to penetrate the basement membrane to invade the dermis so the disease remains confined to the outer layers of the skin.
