International Journal of Inflammation, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a nematode parasite that causes eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in humans. Disease presents following the ingestion of third‐stage larvae residing in the intermediate mollusk host and disease manifests as an acute inflammation of the meninges characterized by eosinophil infiltrates which release a battery of ...

Unexpected Shifts in Bivalve Function From Filtration to Transmission Risk
Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT Understanding the complex interactions between filter‐feeding species and zoonotic disease transmission in aquatic environments is crucial for accurately quantifying the ecosystem services provided by these organisms. This study explores for the first time the roles of freshwater bivalves in the transmission dynamics of emerging zoonotic ...

Molecular cloning, expression and immunohistochemical localization of Ac-ALMP, an astacin-like metalloprotease from Angiostrongylus cantonensis [PDF]
, 2016 广州管圆线虫病是一种人畜共患的寄生虫病。它是因人进食含有广州管圆线虫感染期幼虫的食物或水源而引起的。随着人们饮食习惯的改变和水陆交通的日趋发达，该病的流行呈逐年上升的趋势，目前尚无理想的特效药对该病进行防治。虾红素金属蛋白酶是金属蛋白酶家族的一员，研究发现，其在寄生虫寄生生活中发挥一系列不同的生物学功能。但是目前国际上，关于广州管圆线虫虾红素金属蛋白酶的报道几乎没有。 本研究为探索广州管圆线虫虾红素金属蛋白酶在虫体中的功能，对其基因进行调取，我们通过虾红素金属蛋白酶EST序列设计引物进行RACE克隆 ...
