Revisiting a Neglected Zoonosis: Molecular Identification of Angiostrongylus cantonensis in Southern Indian Rodents

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a zoonotic metastrongyloid nematode that causes eosinophilic meningitis and ocular angiostrongyliasis in humans and other accidental hosts. In India, reported human cases are sporadic, with several associated with monitor lizard consumption, while systematic studies remain limited.

Eosinophilia in the Tropics: Should Empirical Anthelmintic Treatment Be Considered Standard Practice? A Prospective Cohort Study

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 10, Page 1433-1442, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Eosinophilia is a common clinical finding with diverse etiologies. Helminthiasis is a major aetiology in tropical regions, but data from haematology consultation services at tertiary centres in endemic settings are limited. Objectives To determine the prevalence of helminthiasis among patients with eosinophilia at a tropical ...

An Interesting Case of Eosinophilic Meningitis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2013
Angiostrongylus cantonensis is one of the causative agents of eosinophilic meningitis. Humans get infected when they ingest raw or partially cooked snails or monitor lizards (Varanus bengalensis). There is a popular belief that the tongue and the liver

Selective Packaging of miR‐22 and miR‐29 Orthologues into Extracellular Vesicles of the Porcine Whipworm Trichuris Suis

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Helminths modulate host immunity, and in this respect, the porcine whipworm Trichuris suis has been explored clinically as an immunotherapy for inflammatory diseases. T. suis secretes a complex mixture of excretory/secretory products (ESP), including extracellular vesicles (EVs), nanosized membranous particles with bioactive cargoes of lipids,

Enzootic Angiostrongylus cantonensis in Rats and Snails after an Outbreak of Human Eosinophilic Meningitis, Jamaica

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
After an outbreak in 2000 of eosinophilic meningitis in tourists to Jamaica, we looked for Angiostrongylus cantonensis in rats and snails on the island. Overall, 22% (24/109) of rats harbored adult worms, and 8% (4/48) of snails harbored A.

Estivation Strategies of Invasive Snail Pomacea canaliculata in Paddy Fields: Roles of Gut Microbiota and Digestive Gland Metabolism

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
During the summer fallow period, Pomacea canaliculata enters estivation under high temperature and drought stress yet maintains a survival rate exceeding 92%. Restructuring of the gut microbiota and metabolic adaptations in the liver, particularly the stability of fatty acid profiles, underpin its strong estivation tolerance.
