Cerebrospinal Fluid Metabolome in Central Nervous System Infections: A Study of Diagnostic Accuracy

Annals of Neurology, Volume 98, Issue 4, Page 851-863, October 2025.
Objective To assess the diagnostic accuracy of metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for central nervous system (CNS) infections. Methods Patients were derived from three prospective cohort studies in the Netherlands. All studies included adults suspected of a CNS infection who underwent a diagnostic lumbar puncture.

Angiostrongylus cantonensis in a Red Ruffed Lemur at a Zoo, Louisiana, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
A red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) from a zoo in Louisiana, USA, was euthanized for worsening paresis. Brain and spinal cord histology identified eosinophilic meningoencephalomyelitis with intralesional adult Angiostrongylus sp. nematodes.

Neuroangiostrongyliasis Infection Risk Near Preschool Centres in Mallorca, Spain: A Pilot Micro‐Epidemiological Study

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 6, Page 515-522, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neuroangiostrongyliasis, caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis , is a globally emerging zoonosis, with Spain being the only endemic country in Europe. Human infection occurs through ingestion of gastropods or paratenic hosts carrying third‐stage larvae, often leading to eosinophilic meningoencephalitis.

Angiostrongylus cantonensis in urban populations of terrestrial gastropods and rats in an impoverished region of Brazil.

Parasitology, 2021
The nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis is the most common cause of neuroangiostrongyliasis (manifested as eosinophilic meningitis) in humans. Gastropod molluscs are used as intermediate hosts and rats of various species are definitive hosts of this ...

Unexpected Shifts in Bivalve Function From Filtration to Transmission Risk

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding the complex interactions between filter‐feeding species and zoonotic disease transmission in aquatic environments is crucial for accurately quantifying the ecosystem services provided by these organisms. This study explores for the first time the roles of freshwater bivalves in the transmission dynamics of emerging zoonotic ...

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.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the rodent intra-arterial nematodes Angiostrongylus cantonensis and Angiostrongylus costaricensis [PDF]

, 2018
The two rodent intra-arterial nematodes, Angiostrongylus cantonensis and Angiostrongylus costaricensis, can cause human ill-health. The present study aimed to characterize and compare the mitochondrial (mt) genomes of these two species, and clarify their
