Angiostrongylus (Parastrongylus) Eosinophilic Meningitis

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1988
Angiostrongylus (Parastrongylus) cantonensis is the commonest cause of eosinophilic meningitis in the world. Infective third-stage larvae develop in slugs and snails. Humans are infected primarily in the central nervous system after ingesting an infected intermediate host.

Angiostrongylus vasorum: a real heartbreaker

Trends in Parasitology, 2005
Recent reports suggest that the canine heartworm Angiostrongylus vasorum is expanding from traditional endemic foci in several parts of the world. We are ill placed to judge the causes and potential consequences of this expansion because of a lack of knowledge about fundamental aspects of the biology of the parasite. We call for a renewed focus on this

Human Angiostrongylus cantonensis: an update

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2011
Angiostrongylus cantonensis was first discovered in 1935 and has become an important emerging pathogen causing human angiostrongyliasis. Major outbreaks of human angiostrongyliasis have been reported in endemic regions. Thousands of cases of human angiostrongyliasis have been documented worldwide. A.

Angiostrongylus cantonensis

2010
Angiostrongylus cantonensis (Chen, 1933) Site of infection: no specified. Recruitment: ingestion. Distribution: Japan (Uchida 1976; Otsuru 1977; Hasegawa & Asakawa 2004). No specimens in collections.

Carbohydrate Metabolism in Angiostrongylus cantonensis

The Journal of Parasitology, 1965
Female Angiostrongylus cantonensis consumed more glucose than males; they also contained more glycogen and total carbohydrates. The rates of glucose absorption were not significantly different whether or not the medium was supplemented with 10% serum or whether or not the atmosphere contained 5% CO2. Strong inhibition of glucose absorption was achieved

Angiostrongylus cantonensis: Characterization of Thymidylate Synthetase

Experimental Parasitology, 1994
Thymidylate synthetase (TS) is the only enzyme that catalyzes the formation of thymidine nucleotides in Angiostrongylus cantonensis. A fraction enriched in TS was obtained from the gravid nematode by gel filtration and affinity chromatography using methotrexate-agarose. TS, which was well separated from dihydrofolate reductase, has a relative molecular

Experimental hybridization of Angiostrongylus mackerrasae, Bhaibulaya, 1968 and Angiostrongylus cantonensis (Chen, 1935)

International Journal for Parasitology, 1974
Angiostrongylus mackerrasae and A. cantonensis are closely related and their status as distinct species was tested by experimental hybridization. Hybridization between A. mackerrasae and A. cantonensis was observed and the morphology of the F1 hybrids was found to be intermediate between that of the parental species which suggests strongly that A ...
