Roles of AC-cathB-1, a Cathepsin B-like Cysteine Protease of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, in Host Gut Invasion [PDF]
广州管圆线虫是引起嗜酸性粒细胞增多性脑膜炎和脑膜脑炎的主要病原生物,该病也因此被命名为广州管圆线虫病。广州管圆虫属于管圆线虫属,中间宿主为软体动物,终末宿主为啮齿类动物,人因误食未煮熟的携带其第三期幼虫(L3)的软体动物而意外感染,L3污染的其他食物或水源也可导致感染。近年来,随着人们饮食习惯的改变和水陆交通日趋发达,该病的流行呈上升趋势。然而,我们在其诊断和治疗方面仍缺乏有效手段,因此对其的进一步研究很有必要。 小肠壁作为机体防御病原体入侵的天然屏障之一 ...
