Sensitive Detection of Foodborne Parasitic Larvae Using a Sieving-qPCR Workflow: Application to Angiostrongylus cantonensis. [PDF]

J Food Sci
ABSTRACT Contaminated food and water represent potential infection sources of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, a parasitic nematode with significant zoonotic potential. Limited environmental surveillance may be due to the absence of simple and reliable screening methods. Different methods of A.

IL-25 Enhances Eosinophil-Associated Inflammation in Angiostrongylus cantonensis-Infected Mice. [PDF]

Parasite Immunol
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the role of interleukin (IL)‐25 in the pathogenesis of angiostrongylosis. We used ICR mice as non‐permissive hosts, divided them into groups and experimentally infected them with infective larvae of the Angiostrongylus cantonensis.

Angiostrongylus vasorum in wolves in Italy [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2014
In the past decade, the parasitic nematode Angiostrongylus vasorum has attracted attention for its emergence in previously free areas and for the rise in clinical cases in domestic dogs. Italy is regarded as one of the countries where this potentially life-threatening parasite is spreading, especially due to bridging infections between wildlife and ...

Probing Cinnamamides and Benzamides as Anthelmintics: Discovery of Potent Drug-Like Agents Against Angiostrongylus cantonensis. [PDF]

Chem Biol Drug Des
Cynnamoyl benzylpiperazine was identified as drug‐like derivative of cinnarizine with anthelmintic activity against A. cantonensis. In this work, 15 out of 31 derivatives showed improved anthelmintic activity with increased solubility. A SAR study was carried out to determine the molecular features involved in such effect.

Chi3l3: a potential key orchestrator of eosinophil recruitment in meningitis induced by Angiostrongylus cantonensis

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2018
Background Angiostrongylus cantonensis, an important foodborne parasite, can induce serious eosinophilic meningitis in non-permissive hosts, such as mouse and human. However, the characteristics and mechanisms of the infection are still poorly understood.

Angiostrongylus cantonensis and A. malaysiensis Broadly Overlap in Thailand, Lao PDR, Cambodia and Myanmar: A Molecular Survey of Larvae in Land Snails.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a zoonotic nematode parasite causing human eosinophilic meningitis (or meningoencephalitis) worldwide. A closely related species, Angiostrongylus malaysiensis, might also be a human pathogen.

Standardization of a multiplex real-time PCR test for the identification of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, A. costaricensis and A. vasorum

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2018
Introduction: Angiostrongyliasis is a disease caused by Angiostrongylus nematodes that is present worldwide. The infections with the highest impact on human and animal health are caused by A. cantonensis, A. costaricensis, and A. vasorum.

Using cerebrospinal fluid to confirm Angiostrongylus cantonensis as the cause of canine neuroangiostrongyliasis in Australia where A. cantonensis and Angiostrongylus mackerrasae co-exist

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2021
Both Angiostrongylus cantonensis and Angiostrongylus mackerrasae have been identified along the east coast of Australia. A lack of A. mackerrasae genomic data until 2019, however, has precluded the unequivocal identification of the Angiostrongylus ...

The Prevalence of Angiostrongylus cantonensis/mackerrasae Complex in Molluscs from the Sydney Region.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Angiostrongylus cantonensis and Angiostrongylus mackerrasae are metastrongyloid nematodes that infect various rat species. Terrestrial and aquatic molluscs are intermediate hosts of these worms while humans and dogs are accidental hosts.
