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.

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.

Angiostrongylus cantonensis Infection in Brown Rats (Rattus norvegicus), Atlanta, Georgia, USA, 2019–2022

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023
Rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis), a zoonotic parasite invasive to the United States, causes eosinophilic meningoencephalitis. A. cantonensis harbors in rat reservoir hosts and is transmitted through gastropods and other paratenic hosts.

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.

Eosinophilic meningitis due to angiostrongylus cantonensis in children [PDF]

Tạp chí Y học lâm sàng Bệnh viện Trung Ương Huế, 2021
Meningoencephalitis is not a rare disease in children. However, eosinophilic meningitis due toAngiostrongylus cantonensis is unusual in pediatric population. We describe the case of a 12-year-old girlfrom central zone of Vietnam with eosinophilic meningitis.

Newly developed SYBR Green-based quantitative real-time PCRs revealed coinfection evidence of Angiostrongylus cantonensis and A. malaysiensis in Achatina fulica existing in Bangkok Metropolitan, Thailand

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2021
Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a well-known pathogen causing eosinophilic meningitis associated with angiostrongyliasis. Humans, as accidental hosts, are infected by consuming undercooked snails containing third-stage larvae. A.

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.
