Life-cycle of Gnathostoma<unk>  is transmitted by the ingestion of raw or insufficiently cooked definitive hosts such as fresh water fish, poultry, or frogs. In Thailand and Vietnam, the most common cause appears to be consumption of undercooked Asian swamp eels (Monopterus albus, also called Fluta alba) which transmit G. spinigerum. Monopterus albus is an invasive species in North America, but no Gnathostoma infections in humans have yet been conclusively identified in the US.
