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

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.

Lung CT findings of angiostrongyliasis cantonensis caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis

Clinical Imaging, 2011
Angiostrongyliasis cantonensis is a parasitic disease caused by human infection with Angiostrongylus cantonensis. Fifteen cases were enrolled in our study. Chest CT scanning was performed with MSCT in all cases. The chest CT images demonstrated that pulmonary nodular lesions and ground-glass opacity lesions located in the subpleural area are the ...

First Record of Angiostrongylus cantonensis in Cuba

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1981
The occurrence of human eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in several localities of Havana, Cuba, prompted a search for the rat lungworm, Angiostrongylus cantonensis, in the same localities. Twenty rats (Rattus norvegicus) and about 370 terrestrial mollusks (70 slugs, Veronicella cubensis, and about 300 snails, mostly Bradybaena similaris) were collected

The spliced leader gene of Angiostrongylus cantonensis

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1991
A 5' leader sequence has been identified on mRNAs of the parasitic nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis. A 720-bp XhoI restriction fragment containing the gene encoding the leader sequence has been cloned and sequenced. It contains a 22-nt sequence identical to that of the leader sequence of Caenorhabditis elegans, a consensus splice site and a ...

Angiostrongylus cantonensis in China

2013
Angiostrongylus cantonensis was first discovered in 1934 by Professor Chen Xintao and has become an important emerging pathogen causing human angiostrongyliasis. Rats are permissive host, and mice and human are non-permissive host. The adult worms live in the right ventricle and pulmonary arteries of rats. However, worms can’t develop to adult worm and

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
