Severe Eosinophilic Meningoencephalitis Secondary to Suspected Neuroangiostrongyliasis with a Good Clinical Outcome

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Angiostrongylus cantonensis has caused sporadic cases of eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in Sydney, Australia. We describe a 36‐year‐old man who presented subacutely with fevers, reduced level of consciousness, confusion, ophthalmoplegia, and urinary incontinence.

Impacts of rodents in piggeries in Australia – review and pilot impact study

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2177-2189, March 2026.
Rodent impacts in Australian piggeries are under‐researched, with limited data on economic losses and control costs. A review and pilot study found average losses of AUD$100 000 annually. Key concerns include disease, damage, and control expenses.

Diagnostic Value of Right Pulmonary Artery Distensibility Index in Dogs with Pulmonary Hypertension: Comparison with Doppler Echocardiographic Estimates of Pulmonary Arterial Pressure

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 2, Page 543-552, March/April 2016., 2016
Background Noninvasive diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) primarily relies upon Doppler echocardiography of tricuspid regurgitation (TR). However, TR might be absent or difficult to measure. Hypothesis/Objectives To determine the diagnostic value of right pulmonary artery distensibility (RPAD) index for prediction of Doppler‐derived estimates of ...

Transcriptome profiling of the fifth-stage larvae of Angiostrongylus cantonensis by next-generation sequencing [PDF]

, 2013
Angiostrongylus cantonensis is an important zoonotic nematode. It is the causative agent of eosinophilic meningitis and eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in humans. However, information of this parasite at the genomic level is very limited. In the present

Piplartine as an Innovative Natural Product With Dual Antiparasitic and Immunomodulatory Actions

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remain a major global health burden, disproportionately affecting low‐ and middle‐income regions and demanding innovative therapeutic strategies. This review summarizes current evidence on piplartine (piperlongumine), a naturally occurring amide from Piper species with broad antiparasitic and immunomodulatory ...

Activation of Sonic Hedgehog Leads to Survival Enhancement of Astrocytes via the GRP78‐Dependent Pathway in Mice Infected with Angiostrongylus cantonensis

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection may cause elevation of ROS and antioxidants in the CSF of infected mice. Astrocytes may protect the surrounding neurons from oxidative stress‐induced cell death by secreting Sonic hedgehog (Shh) via the PI3‐K/AKT/Bcl‐2 pathway.

The mitochondrial genome of Angiostrongylus mackerrasae as a basis for molecular, epidemiological and population genetic studies [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Angiostrongylus mackerrasae is a metastrongyloid nematode endemic to Australia, where it infects the native bush rat, Rattus fuscipes. This lungworm has an identical life cycle to that of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, a leading cause of ...
