Detection of the acute phase of abdominal angiostrongyliasis with a parasite-specific IgG enzyme linked immunosorbent assay [PDF]
Angiostrongylus costaricensis may cause intestinal lesions of varied severity when it accidentally infects man in Central and South America. First-stage larvae have never been detected in stools. Therefore, a parasite-specific IgG ELISA was evaluated for the determination of the acute phase of infection.

Bat guano may contain zoonotic parasites that contaminate the environment and/or serve as a potential source of infection to humans and animals. Repeated bat–human exposure could be a risk factor for zoonosis. To date, knowledge on the status of bat gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) in Uganda is limited.

Abdominal angiostrongyliasis in Nicaragua: a clinico-pathological study on a series of 12 cases reports [PDF]
A retrospective study was done to determine the presence of abdominal angiostrongyliasis in Nicaragua. Twelve cases of this parasitic disease were found among 48 visceral specimens: small intestine, liver and testes. The patients with intestinal lesions presented symptoms of an acute abdomen, and in some instances, a tumor-like mass was palpated in the
