History
The Mammomonogamus parasite of greatest significance to humans is M. laryngeus due to the occasional, incidental cases reported in humans. While M. laryngeus commonly infects domestic ungulates and ruminants, the first reported case of a human infection was by Dr. King who diagnosed the parasite in a woman from St. Lucia, Antilles. The next case originated in Brazil in the 1920s where the connection with bovine species was confirmed.
