Using cerebrospinal fluid to confirm Angiostrongylus cantonensis as the cause of canine neuroangiostrongyliasis in Australia where A. cantonensis and Angiostrongylus mackerrasae co-exist

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2021
Both Angiostrongylus cantonensis and Angiostrongylus mackerrasae have been identified along the east coast of Australia. A lack of A. mackerrasae genomic data until 2019, however, has precluded the unequivocal identification of the Angiostrongylus ...

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.
