Molecular diagnosis of abdominal angiostrongyliasis by PCR using serum samples

Parasitology Research, 2022
Abdominal angiostrongyliasis (AA) is a zoonotic disease caused by the nematode Angiostrongylus costaricensis, which is endemic in southern Brazil. Humans become infected by ingesting third-stage (L3) larvae and are considered accidental hosts since neither eggs nor first-stage (L1) larvae are found in feces.

Histopathological criteria for the diagnosis of abdominal angiostrongyliasis

Parasitology Research, 1991
An increasing number of cases of abdominal angiostrongyliasis have recently been diagnosed in southern Brazil. A comparative study of 19 confirmed cases and 15 suspected cases was undertaken to review the anatomo-pathology of the disease and to establish histopathological criteria for its diagnosis.

Abdominal Angiostrongyliasis: A Presentation of Eosinophilic Granulomatous Colitis

International Journal of Surgical Pathology, 2017
We present a case of a 4-year-old girl with abdominal angiostrongyliasis who presented with persistent fevers, hepatosplenomegaly, acute abdominal pain, and eosinophilia. Computed tomography scan identified thickening of the ascending colon with a narrowed lumen. Endoscopic evaluation revealed ulcerations and erythema in the ascending colon.

Outcomes in mice with abdominal angiostrongyliasis treated with enoxaparin

Parasitology Research, 2011
Abdominal angiostrongyliasis (AA) is caused by the nematode Angiostrongylus costaricensis. Parasite-associated thrombosis of mesenteric vessels may lead to intestinal infarction, which might be prevented with anti-thrombotic agents. This study assessed the effect of enoxaparin on survival and pathological findings in Swiss mice with AA.

Angiostrongylus costaricensis egg antigen for the immunodiagnosis of abdominal angiostrongyliasis

Journal of Helminthology, 2008
AbstractAngiostrongylus costaricensis is the aetiological agent of human abdominal angiostrongyliasis, a parasitic disease reported from the United States to Argentina, with a widespread occurrence of the nematode throughout Central and South America. This study assesses the performance of A.

Abdominal angiostrongyliasis: what does the rheumatologist must know about it?

International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases, 2009
AbstractAbdominal angiostrongyliasis (AA) is a disease caused by Angiostrongylus costaricensis, a nematode that can infect humans accidentally through the ingestion of larvae. Worms live inside intestinal small vessels and can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms and bowel necrosis in otherwise healthy patients. Therefore, abdominal angiostrongyliasis may

Abdominal angiostrongyliasis in rodent experimental infection: Evidence for systemic circulation of first stage larvae

Parasitology International, 2007
Eggs of Angiostrongylus costaricensis embrionate and hatch in the course of their migration in the intestinal wall, and first stage larvae (L1) are released in feces. Aiming to investigate the possible systemic circulation of L1, we inoculated mice and, four weeks later, examined their peritoneal cavities and several organs for the presence of L1.
