Angiostrongylus cantonensis: Characterization of Thymidylate Synthetase
Experimental Parasitology, 1994Thymidylate 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

Carbohydrate Metabolism in Angiostrongylus cantonensis
The Journal of Parasitology, 1965Female 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

The role of eosinophils in Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection
Parasitology Today, 1994Angiostrongylus cantonensis is the causative agent of human eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in the Pacific Islands and Southeast Asia. Prominent eosinophilia in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of the patients has been used as one of the diagnostic criteria for the disease but the role(s) of the CSF eosinophils has remained to be elucidated.

Angiostrongylus cantonensis in China
2013Angiostrongylus 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

Zoonoses and Public Health
Angiostrongylus cantonensis, commonly known as the rat lungworm, is a metastrongyloid nematode found primarily not only in tropical and subtropical regions but also in temperate areas and considered the leading cause of eosinophilic meningitis in humans.

The spliced leader gene of Angiostrongylus cantonensis
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1991A 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 ...

First Record of Angiostrongylus cantonensis in Cuba
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1981The 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

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2006To describe a case of bilateral necrotizing retinitis induced by Angiostrongylus cantonensis.Interventional case report.A 52-year-old Asian woman developed eosinophilic meningitis after eating several undercooked snails. One week later, sudden onset of vision loss was noted in both eyes.
