Angiostrongylus cantonensis and A. malaysiensis Broadly Overlap in Thailand, Lao PDR, Cambodia and Myanmar: A Molecular Survey of Larvae in Land Snails.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a zoonotic nematode parasite causing human eosinophilic meningitis (or meningoencephalitis) worldwide. A closely related species, Angiostrongylus malaysiensis, might also be a human pathogen.

Gastropod-derived haemocyte extracellular traps entrap metastrongyloid larval stages of Angiostrongylus vasorum, Aelurostrongylus abstrusus and Troglostrongylus brevior [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Phagocyte-derived extracellular traps (ETs) were recently demonstrated mainly in vertebrate hosts as an important effector mechanism against invading parasites.

Transcriptome Profiling of Male Adult Angiostrongylus cantonensis. [PDF]

Iran J Parasitol, 2023
Background: The pathogen of angiostrongyliasis is the parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis, and the transcriptome profiling of the male adult was unclear. We aimed to understand how the male adults adapt, so the expression profile of A. cantonensis adult males was analyzed.

Genetic characterization of Angiostrongylus larvae and their intermediate host, Achatina fulica, in Thailand.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Angiostrongyliasis is a parasitic disease caused by nematodes of the genus Angiostrongylus. Distribution of this worm corresponds to the dispersal of its main intermediate host, the giant African land snail Achatina fulica.

HumanAngiostrongylus cantonensis, Jamaica

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
To the Editor: Angiostrongylus cantonensis is the most common cause of eosinophilic meningoencephalitis worldwide (1). The parasite's presence has been well documented in Jamaica in rats (definitive host) and a variety of mollusks (intermediate hosts); infections occur in humans sporadically on the island.

The Innate Immune Sensor Zbp1 Mediates Central Nervous System Inflammation Induced by Angiostrongylus Cantonensis by Promoting Macrophage Inflammatory Phenotypes. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
This study reveals that Zbp1 plays a pivotal role in regulating neuroimmune interactions during Angiostrongylus cantonensis (AC) infection. Zbp1 modulates lymphocyte infiltration and natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity by promoting cytokine secretion and M1 polarization of macrophages, shaping the CNS immune microenvironment.
