Between affected muscles more they are the diaphragm, the language, the eyelids, the intercostal muscles, of the lumbar region and those of the eye.

The period of incubation of the parasite varies between 10 and 14 days, although it can vary and sometimes reach the 28 days or to only be of 2 days.
