AcanR3990 qPCR: a novel, highly sensitive, bioinformatically-informed assay to detect Angiostrongylus cantonensis infections.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2020
BACKGROUND Angiostrongylus cantonensis (Ac), or the rat lungworm, is a major cause of eosinophilic meningitis. Humans are infected by ingesting the 3 rd stage larvae from primary hosts, snails and slugs, or paratenic hosts.

The unseen invaders: Tracking phylogeographic dynamics and genetic diversity of cryptic Pomacea canaliculata and P. maculata (Golden apple snails) across Taiwan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2024.
The Invasion of Golden apple snails (Pomacea spp.), has caused significant ecological and economic damage across Taiwan. Our study focuses on the understanding of genetic diversity, distribution, and path of invasion of these snails across the Taiwan to aid improved mitigation approaches.

Development-Specific Differences in the Proteomics of Angiostrongylus cantonensis

PLoS ONE, 2013
Angiostrongyliasis is an emerging communicable disease. Several different hosts are required to complete the life cycle of Angiostrongylus cantonensis. However, we lack a complete understanding of variability of proteins across different developmental stages and their contribution to parasite survival and progression.

Population genetics and genetic variation of Pomacea canaliculata (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae) in China revealed by sequence analyses of three mitochondrial genes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2024.
The Golden apple snail, Pomacea canaliculata, is one of the world's 100 worst invasive alien species that is best known for its damage to wetland agriculture. We analyzed the genetic variation and population genetics of P. canaliculata populations in seven regions of China based on molecular markers of three mitochondrial (mt) genes.

Alternative pathways in Angiostrongylus cantonensis (Metastrongyloidea: Angiostrongylidae) transmission

Parasitology, 2020
In order to elucidate the infection pathways of third stage larvae (L3) of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, we performed experiments to assess: (i) the shedding of L3 from two species of experimental veronicellid slugs drowned in water and the ratio of ...
